Intermodal Africa 2027

How it compares

Geography is the first filter. Intermodal Africa in Luanda brings the same conference and exhibition format to Angola and Central African port business. Its local partners include Sogester and Mintrans Angola. For a supplier pursuing Angolan terminal projects, that local network is more relevant than the Dakar gathering; Senegal and neighboring West African markets point the decision toward Dakar.

Intermodal Africa in Swakopmund is hosted by Namport and centers on the southern African routes served by Walvis Bay. It is a natural choice for businesses working through Namibia and its regional logistics connections. The names are alike, but the host ports and commercial catchment make these distinct trips.

TOC Africa puts African ports and terminals into a broader global container supply chain discussion. It attracted 800 professionals in Tangier in 2025 and has announced a return in 2028. That scale and container focus suit a wider technology and operator comparison. Dakar concentrates the local port institutions, terminal businesses and equipment suppliers in a hotel exhibition beside the conference. The choice turns on the market and counterparties a company needs to reach.

Intermodal Africa in Dakar suits port suppliers and logistics businesses whose next commercial conversations need to be with Senegalese and West African operators.

Who exhibits

Dakar Terminal, DP World Dakar and Port of Dakar Authority give the exhibition an operating-port presence alongside equipment suppliers. RAM Spreaders and Peiner SMAG sit in a mix that also includes Camco, TMEIC, Vahle and Med Marine. This is a compact port supply chain gathering, bringing terminal businesses into contact with handling, electrical and marine suppliers. The mix makes the floor useful for connecting equipment choices with the operators and authorities that will use them.

Intermodal Africa 2027

The 2027 Dakar meeting puts the host port and its terminal businesses at the center of the exhibition. Dakar Port Authority hosts the event, with Dakar Terminal and DP World Dakar taking space alongside international equipment and system suppliers. The program combines the hotel conference with a technical port visit, a cocktail reception and a gala dinner. Those elements give delegates several settings to discuss how West African port operations and supplier capabilities fit together.

• For conversations about Dakar terminal operations, the floor brings Port of Dakar Authority, Dakar Terminal and DP World Dakar together with the equipment suppliers.
• The port technical visit requires advance identity documents for security clearance; keep that process separate from conference registration.
• The cocktail reception and gala dinner are part of the delegate program, so they are useful settings for continuing port-project discussions.

Exhibiting

The packaged stand combines a shell scheme with conference delegate places, stand personnel badges, a speaking slot and lead sponsor advertising. A separate administration fee applies to both stands and sponsorships. This combination suits suppliers that want to explain a port solution in the conference and then discuss it with operators at their stand.
