AFRIDEX 2026 runs from Monday 26 to Thursday 29 October at Eko Atlantic City, Lagos. DICON is hosting the exhibition, and you'll find us at the DICON Pavilion on all four days.

Register on afridex.com before you travel. You'll need your badge to get in, so it saves time at the gate.

Eko Atlantic sits next to Victoria Island. Give yourself an extra 60 to 90 minutes for Lagos traffic. There are 700 parking spaces, first come, first served. Any taxi can drop you off, but only LagRide can pick up from the venue car park.

At the pavilion you can see equipment built in DICON's own factories, talk to us about joint ventures and local production under the DICON Act 2023, and meet the team. If you'd like a proper meeting, ask any of us on the stand and we'll find a time.

We'll post news from the pavilion here during the show. For updates as they happen, follow DICON on X and Facebook.
