This year’s Africa Blockchain Festival 2026 is taking a new dimension as leading communications firm DAW EMPIRE officially emerges as the strategic public relations partner for the highly anticipated continental gathering.

The partnership is expected to strengthen the festival’s media visibility and deepen conversations around Africa’s rapidly evolving digital economy, blockchain adoption, innovation, and financial technology ecosystem ahead of the event scheduled to hold in Nairobi, Kenya, from October 15 to 17, 2026.

Owned by renowned media entrepreneur and PR strategist Dami Adenuga, DAW EMPIRE has continued to build a reputation for shaping compelling narratives, driving strategic campaigns, and amplifying brands across entertainment, technology, and corporate sectors.
Known for his passion and knack for innovative storytelling and impactful brand positioning, Adenuga has steadily positioned DAW EMPIRE as one of the emerging forces in media relations and communications strategy within Africa’s fast-growing creative and technology industries.

With the new partnership, DAW EMPIRE will oversee strategic media engagement, publicity campaigns, stakeholder communications, and digital visibility for Africa Blockchain Festival 2026 as organisers intensify preparations for what is projected to be one of the continent’s largest blockchain-focused events.

The festival is expected to convene founders, innovators, policymakers, investors, startups, and industry leaders from different parts of Africa and beyond to discuss blockchain technology, digital assets, financial inclusion, emerging innovations, and the future of Africa’s technology-driven economy.

Speaking on the partnership, organisers said the collaboration reflects a shared commitment to building stronger conversations around Africa’s digital transformation while ensuring the festival reaches wider global and continental audiences through effective storytelling and strategic communication.

The organisers added that both DAW EMPIRE and Africa Blockchain Festival 2026 are united by a common vision of helping shape Africa’s permanent digital economy by creating platforms that encourage innovation, collaboration, investment, and sustainable technological growth across the continent.
