Moonshot is TechCabal's flagship annual conference, bringing together founders, investors, operators, creatives, policymakers, and tech enthusiasts from across Africa and beyond. The 2026 edition, themed Courage and Conviction: Building for a New World, runs across nine content tracks, including Future of Commerce, Emerging Tech (AI and ML), FUEL: The Investor Conference, Government and Policy, Clean and Climate Tech, and the Creative Economy.

The two-day programme features TC Battlefield, a startup pitch competition, plus Moonshot Demo, investor deal rooms, roundtables, masterclasses, and side events across the week. The 2025 edition drew more than 5,700 participants and over 210 speakers, with delegates from 39 countries.
