The Control Conference Africa (CCA 2021) is hosted by the South African Council for Automation and Control (SACAC). CCA 2021 promotes the exchange of ideas and developments in control engineering in Africa. The CCA 2021 conference specifically addresses control engineers from African countries, African control engineers based abroad who wish to reconnect to their roots, and all control engineers who want to connect with Africa. Both academic and industrial control engineering practitioners have the opportunity to present their work and exchange research ideas with colleagues from across the globe. 

The event is co-sponsored by the International Federation of Automatic Control (IFAC), of which SACAC is the National Member Organisation for South Africa.
