On the way to the summit
New partners, speakers, deadlines and milestones — in photos and video as they happen. Nothing here is embargoed, so quote or share whatever's useful.
Speakers
Two Vice-Chancellors, the summit's own convener, and the CEO of Kenya's Teachers Service Commission — the keynote lineup is confirmed, and it sets the tone for everything that follows. This is the room you'll be walking into on October 15.

The first release is gone — thank you for showing up for this the way you did. Standard tickets are live now at KES 6,800, and if the early bird's pace is anything to go by, this batch won't last long either. 7.4 million Kenyan SMEs are represented in that room on October 15 — don't be the one still deciding when it sells out again.

Eng. Mike Mutungi, CEO of I Choose Life – Africa, and Prof. Njenga Munene, Vice Chancellor of Zetech University, have signed an MoU bringing academia and industry together on the road to the summit. It opens the door to student internships and placements, collaborative research and innovation, and two-way knowledge and resource sharing — starting with a joint research focus on artificial intelligence in education technology, alongside Victor Sila, founder of JuaPath, an AI tutor piloting in Kenya with a reach of 12.6 million learners.
