“Great conversations are done while people are seated” This is an African saying I once learnt in an art class. Some communities would purposely construct a structure with a very low rooftop to serve as a sort of meeting venue or local court. This was done to ensure people remain calm and seated while meeting to discuss important issues, if one stood up in anger, they would get a painful bump to cool them down.
While this may not be applied as much anymore, people still gather in meetings of various types to share ideas, learn new things, discuss matters and make decisions.
Kenya has had its share of important meetings of people who share common causes. This is further appreciated by an outstanding architectural monument that graces the Nairobi skyline: The Kenyatta International Convention Centre (KICC), which is managed specifically for conventions all year round.
On November 7 this year, the KICC plenary hall will play host to yet another important gathering of people who bear the common cause of fueling entrepreneurs. Dubbed the #GreatTalks2015, this event will be a gathering of Kenya’s influencers who seek to forge partnerships, start businesses, create solutions and take actions to make the world a better place and by starting in Kenya’s Vibrant entrepreneurs ecosystem.
