Over 50 expert speakers, 10 sponsoring companies, 40 exhibiting companies, five Master classes, an intensive three-day conference and a full-day course in innovative banking will all add up to an event that is going to have a major impact on Africa’s finance sector: The African Banking Technology Conference, to be held in Nairobi over 15 to 22 February.
The conference is being held by AITEC Africa, the continent’s leading organizer of ICT events and training courses.

Asked about the potential impact of the current political crisis in Kenya on the conference, John Mwangi, MD of AITEC East Africa, said: “As tragic as the current political crisis is in Kenya, we believe it is necessary for the business community to demonstrate its resilience in the face of such difficulties, thus sustaining individual business levels as well as the national economy. So we are resolved to continue with the Banking Technology Conference as scheduled. It is an important opportunity for Kenya’s business community to reassert its economic leadership position in the region – and Nairobi as a conference destination. The situation is steadily improving in Kenya and we are confident the conference will be held in an atmosphere of restored stability and business confidence.”
The conference was last held in Nairobi in February last year and has become the leading forum for the continent’s banking industry to share knowledge on latest technological innovations and best practices across the region and internationally.
