About the Event

This is Not
a Tech Talk.
This is Your
Competitive Edge.

AI is no longer a future technology. It is here. It is being used by your competitors right now to reach more customers, build faster, and operate smarter. The only question is whether you're using it too — or being left behind by someone who is.

This event is built for two groups: business owners who want to use AI to grow their revenue and reach more clients, and developers who need to understand what AI means for their career and how to stay relevant in an era where tools are rebuilding the entire industry.

How to use AI to find more clients, automate your marketing, target the right audience, and run a smarter business — without needing to be technical.

Track B · Developers
AI for Developers
What AI means for software engineering careers. The tools, the workflow shifts, and how to position yourself so you're the developer using AI — not the one being replaced by someone who does.
Networking Advantage

Know Exactly Who Is In The Room.

We built something into this event that no other Nairobi conference has done. Every attendee receives a coloured lanyard at registration. Your colour tells the room exactly who you are and what you are looking for — so networking happens instantly, not awkwardly.

No more standing in a corner wondering who to talk to. No more exchanging cards with people who are not relevant to you. Your lanyard does the work before you say a word.

🔵 Blue Lanyard
Business Owner — growing a company, solving problems
🟢 Green Lanyard
Job Seeker — open to opportunities, looking for the right role
🔴 Red Lanyard
Hiring — actively recruiting talent right now
🟡 Yellow Lanyard
Developer or Tech Professional
🟠 Orange Lanyard
Investor — looking for businesses or ideas to back
⚪ White Lanyard
Student — in university or recently graduated
🟣 Purple Lanyard
Speaker or VIP Guest

When you register, you select your category. Your lanyard is ready when you arrive. The developer with the yellow lanyard will spot the red one immediately. The business owner with the blue lanyard will find the orange one. Connections that would normally take three events to make happen in three minutes.
