Hi all!

Kilele is back for 2025 and we're now looking for proposals. In February of this year we kicked off East Africa’s first symposium for music tech and innovation, and we are delighted to officially start the countdown to the next edition. Kilele 2024 saw delegates from over 25 countries exploring topics affecting the music industry regionally and globally, reflected through a progressive, tech-focused lens. 

For the second edition, we want to amplify what we have started, and firmly establish Kilele as a key global node on the music summit map - a place where ideas take flight and old, established ideas are questioned.

We're looking for workshops, performances, installations or panels/presentations from both artists, researchers and industry representatives.

February 18th to 22nd 2025 in Nairobi, Kenya.

Kilele balances a curation team with open calls for participation. A programming committee will assess the suitability and feasibility of all proposals. In the 2024 edition, 50% of Kilele’s programming came from these submissions.

25th of October. We aim to give feedback to all proposals by the end of November.
