Overview
Sencon Expo 2026 is the 11th International Exhibition for Construction Materials and Machinery, which is scheduled to occur in Dakar, Senegal, from February 5 to February 7, 2026. It takes place at the Centre des Expositions Diamniadio and is recognized as one of the largest trade fairs in West Africa for all types of construction equipment, building materials, and renewable energy.
Focus
The expo features heavy machinery for construction, building materials, energy coming from renewable sources, and a variety of services related to these fields. It also provides a platform for the interactions of the suppliers, contractors, engineers, and representatives of the government. For clarification in this matter, see the Interior Design Furnishing Expo 2026.
Program
Sencon Expo has planned exhibitor displays, product demonstrations, dedicated industry areas, and business-to-business meetings that allow the visitors to connect with the exhibitors and potential partners. This setup is a reflection of how the international exhibitions create the environments for interaction and learning akin to DesignTO Festival 2026.
“Sencon Expo is West Africa’s flagship construction and machinery exhibition, bringing industry professionals together to explore technologies and build commercial relationships.”
The expo’s positioning as the regional center of the industry is consistent with the analysis done by ArchUp on the international design and trade events observed in Salone del Mobile Milano 2025, which is the case of the whole situation.
Audience
The event is aimed at commercial and residential developers, contractors, specialized architects and engineers, distributors, government agencies, and industry professionals looking for market knowledge and business connections supporting their work.

✦ ArchUp Editorial Insight
Sencon Expo 2026 is primarily an industry and infrastructure marketplace, with a small section being an architectural forum. The event being regional will affect the availability of materials and technology that impact the built environment in West Africa. It demonstrates the construction-led approach where the execution is done before the design talks. The major development and infrastructure ambitions are supported but only through very limited engagement with architectural theory, spatial quality, or critical design experimentation. Hence, it is much closer to production and delivery rather than to architectural exploration.
Closing Note
Sencon Expo 2026 again confirms the position of a major regional showcase for the building and machinery industries in West Africa. The networking, product showcases, and business development, which the expo is focusing on, are that aspects that make its practical value evident for the professionals working in the building, infrastructure, and related sectors.
