Conference Programme

The heart of the conference will be organised in one of the most beautiful and fastest growing multinational business districts of Africa, Nairobi Upper Hill. The venue itself is at a desirable location at the newly-built Radisson Blu Hotel Nairobi. The Radisson Blu Nairobi will be the venue for the entire conference programme, including the social events.

The brand new hotel with an environmentally friendly profile was finished in 2016 and offers a 5 star standard conference experience, and you will be overwhelmed by the hospitable African hosts and the memorable local food.

Look forward to experience the astonishing city view from the outside terrace where we will meet for the welcome reception.
