The event is organised by ISOC.  They are organising many events around the world.

ISOC asked AFRINIC to assist with logistics, and AFRINIC is doing so.

The event is organised by some central part of ISOC, not by the ISOC Mauritius chapter.  I don’t know how ISOC coordinates such events with their chapters, and I do not have any more information about ISOC Mauritius than anybody could find via  web search.
