rAge Expo is South Africa’s award-winning, go-to mega event for all things video gaming, technology, esports, geek culture, and digital entertainment. The event has been bringing like-minded geeks and gaming enthusiasts together for two decades now, but this year's spectacle has been designed from the ground up for a much broader audience.
Families, young creators, technology enthusiasts, casual players, anime and cosplay fans, serious competitors, and curious first-time visitors will all find something unforgettable.
It’s the ultimate escapist destination where attendees can immerse themselves in PC, mobile and console gaming, digital lifestyle gear, edutainment, gadgets, creative arts, robotics, esports, smart home technology, cosplay, virtual reality, locally developed games, show specials, competitions, giveaways and so much more.
This year’s event introduces elements of retrofuturism, combining the nostalgia and visual language of gaming’s past with ideas, technology and experiences that look ahead to what the future of digital culture could become. From classic influences reimagined through new technology to immersive environments that blur the lines between then, now and next, retrofuturism will give rAge 2026 a distinctive creative identity.
