Practical AI and Big Data Nairobi – Real Tools. Real Data. Real Impact.

Practical AI and Big Data Nairobi is a hands-on, community-powered event designed to bring together Kenya’s growing network of AI engineers, data scientists, and tech professionals. This isn't a high-level theory conference — it's a space for builders who want to connect, collaborate, and create real-world impact with artificial intelligence and data tools.

The event brings together people who are already building with AI and big data, from professionals working in generative AI and machine learning, to freelancers earning through competitive programming, open-source contributions, and product development. Attendees will hear directly from local engineers and startup teams who are putting models into production, fine-tuning LLMs on local datasets, and using tools like LangChain, vector databases, labeling platforms, and cloud pipelines to solve practical problems.

More than just talks, this is a space to meet like-minded makers, to share experiences, trade ideas, and find opportunities. Whether you're working on a chatbot in Swahili, contributing to open-source NLP, deploying models to the edge, or just starting to explore how AI can fit into your freelance or startup journey, this event is for you.

Join us in Nairobi for a day of learning, building, and meaningful connections with others who are shaping the future of AI and data on the continent — one project at a time.
