The AfriNovation Festival, Nairobi: Where Innovation Thrives on Respect

At AfriNovation, we’re all about building a future together. That means creating a space where everyone feels welcome, valued, and safe to share their ideas. Regardless of background, identity, or experience, we expect everyone to treat each other with respect.

This Respect Code applies to everything AfriNovation – the main event, side events, online interactions, and beyond. We want AfriNovation to be a powerful and inclusive experience for attendees, organizers, and everyone involved.

Be the Change: What Respectful Looks Like

  • Inclusive conversations: We avoid language or actions that reinforce stereotypes or put others down.
  • Uplifting environment: We celebrate differences and create a space where everyone feels comfortable sharing their ideas.
  • Zero tolerance for harassment: This includes verbal abuse, bullying, intimidation, or unwelcome physical contact.
  • Active bystanders: If you see something, say something. Report any concerns to our dedicated safety team.

Together We Innovate

AfriNovation is a breeding ground for incredible ideas. Let’s keep it that way! By fostering a respectful and inclusive environment, we can all contribute to making AfriNovation a truly groundbreaking event.
