Common questions
Is early bird pricing still available?
No. Early bird ended 10 August 2026 and standard rates now apply. The early bird figures are shown struck through so you can see what changed.
What do I need to get into day 3?
Day 3 is the Presidential Reception and the awards ceremony. Entry requires either a VIP ticket, which includes it, or a standalone Presidential Reception pass. Ordinary and Student tickets do not admit you on day 3.
How does the free student pass work?
There are 1,000 free student places for days 1 and 2, given out in the order they are claimed. Register with your name, contact details and the school you attend, and your place is confirmed on the spot with a reference number. Take a screenshot of it: there is no confirmation email. Bring the reference and your student ID to registration on the first morning.
Do I pay for a student pass?
No, and there is no checkout step. The student pass is issued on this site rather than through the ticketing platform, so you will not be asked for card details at any point. Anyone asking you to pay for one is not us.
Where does payment actually happen?
Checkout runs on our ticketing platform, not on this website. You will be taken there to pay and your ticket and QR code are issued from there. This site never handles your card details.
Can I transfer or refund a ticket?
The refund and transfer terms are set out on the refund policy page. For anything urgent, or for a name change on an existing booking, email tickets@techaiexpo.co.
Do you do group or corporate bookings?
Yes. Email tickets@techaiexpo.co with the number of places and the tier you want and we will arrange it and invoice you directly.
Do I need a visa to attend?
Most visitors to Tanzania need a visa, and Zanzibar has its own entry requirements on top. What applies to you depends on your nationality. See the travel page and check the official Tanzanian immigration guidance before you book.
