Post Deep Learning Indaba 2018 Nairobi

The Deep Learning Indaba exists to celebrate and strengthen machine learning in Africa through state-of-the-art teaching, networking, policy debate, and through their support programmes, such as the IndabaX and the Kambule and Maathai awards.

In line with the theme for 2018 Indaba: Masakhane! meaning ‘we build together’, please join us on 6th October at iHub Nairobi to explore the latest that was discussed during Deep Learning Indaba 2018. This event will feature sessions from attendees, organizers and honorable mentions of the DLIndaba event that took place between 9-14 September, Stellenbosch University, South Africa.
