Creative + Tech Summit 2025

Creative + Tech Summit 2025: “Disrupt or Be Disrupted” – Where Ideas Meet Innovation

Every so often, an event comes along that makes you stop scrolling and think, “Wait, I need to be there.” That’s exactly the vibe around Creative + Tech Summit 2025, set for Saturday, 15th November 2025, at ALX Piano Hub, Nairobi. From 9:00 AM to 4:00 PM, some of the sharpest minds in tech, creativity, and innovation will come together to tackle one truth: you either disrupt—or get disrupted.

Tickets are going for Ksh 2,500, payable via Till Number 6879781 (Account Name: YEAH SUMMIT), or through the quick registration link here. And honestly, that’s a small price to pay for the kind of conversations, insights, and connections that might change your career—or even your whole mindset.

“Disrupt or Be Disrupted”: The Theme That Hits Home

The theme is raw, almost confrontational, but that’s what makes it brilliant. “Disrupt or Be Disrupted” isn’t just another motivational tagline; it’s a wake-up call. Technology is evolving at lightning speed, and the creative economy is moving right alongside it.

Think about it—AI tools like ChatGPT are reshaping writing, filmmaking is leaning on CGI and virtual production, and fintech startups are redefining what banks even mean anymore. The Summit aims to push attendees out of their comfort zones, urging them to stop adapting slowly and start innovating intentionally.

As one of the organizers from YEAH Africa put it, this summit isn’t about “catching up” to the future. It’s about building it—right here in Nairobi.

The Dream Lineup: Tech Meets Creativity

Let’s talk about the brains behind the buzz. The speaker list reads like a “who’s who” of Kenya’s innovation and creative scene—ten visionaries who’ve walked the talk:

  • Brian Nyagol – CEO, Brainverse Technologies
    Expect an honest breakdown of how local startups can build digital products that actually work—and scale—without losing their Kenyan identity.
  • Hilda Moraa – CEO, Pezesha
    She’s the face of fintech inclusion. Hilda’s session will likely challenge how we think about access to credit and the future of digital lending across Africa.
  • Dr. Celia Cintas – IBM Research Africa
    When she talks about AI, people listen. She’s expected to unpack how data and machine learning can drive real impact, not just buzzwords.
  • Boniface Harrison – Executive Producer, CINTAS Film
    A creative mind representing Kenya’s film industry, Boniface might just convince you that storytelling is still tech’s most powerful engine.
  • Anthony Mutiso – CEO, TechBiz Africa
    If you’ve ever wondered how to grow a startup beyond the pitch deck stage, Anthony’s your guy.
  • Angela Wanjiku – Co-founder, YEAH Africa
    As a driving force behind the summit, Angela will probably emphasize how young people can blend art and technology to solve real problems.
  • Abdinor Alimadhi – Co-founder, M-Lugha App
    Think tech and culture don’t mix? Abdinor’s work in language technology might change your mind.
  • Dennis Mugo – Tech Advocate & Digital Creator
    Expect energy, wit, and creative fire. Dennis will likely show how digital media can be both a playground and a platform for social impact.
  • Stephen Ndungu – CEO, ICT Company
    He brings in the infrastructure perspective—how Kenya can keep building the digital highways that power innovation.
  • Dr. Jaqueline Okeyo – Psychologist & Author
    A fresh, human touch. Her talk on mental health and creativity reminds us that even in a tech-driven world, people still matter most.

Why This Summit Matters (Now More Than Ever)

Kenya has become one of Africa’s hottest tech playgrounds—Silicon Savannah isn’t just a nickname; it’s a movement. From AI research labs to homegrown fintechs and content creators pulling global audiences, there’s something electric in the air.

But here’s the catch: innovation without collaboration often fizzles out. The Creative + Tech Summit 2025 bridges that gap, creating a space where coders meet filmmakers, where startup founders share coffee with psychologists, and where ideas don’t just collide—they fuse.

And that’s the point. Disruption doesn’t happen in silos; it happens when you mix worlds that rarely meet.

The People Behind the Curtain

Every successful event has its backbone—its organizers and partners who make it happen. YEAH Africa, the powerhouse behind the summit, is known for bringing youth empowerment to life. This year, they’ve teamed up with an impressive lineup of partners:

  • IBM Research Africa – pushing the boundaries of AI innovation
  • Pezesha – advancing digital finance
  • Casio Tech – supporting tech accessibility
  • ICT Company – strengthening Kenya’s digital backbone
  • M-Lugha App – preserving African languages through technology
  • Brainverse Technologies – known for platforms like Waridi and Julify, blending software ingenuity with everyday relevance

Together, they’re proving that innovation isn’t a one-person show—it’s a network of visionaries with different strengths but a shared goal.

What You’ll Take Away

If you’re a tech entrepreneur, you’ll leave with ideas that make your product stand out.
If you’re a creative, you’ll discover how technology can amplify your art instead of replacing it.
And if you’re just curious? You’ll walk away with the realization that disruption isn’t something to fear—it’s something to lead.

Conversations will spill beyond the sessions—over lunch, in hallway chats, maybe even on X (Twitter) threads later that evening. Because that’s how innovation spreads—organically, through people talking, arguing, sharing, and building.

So, Are You Coming?

The future isn’t waiting. Creative + Tech Summit 2025 is where ideas turn into action, and where bold thinkers gather not just to talk about change—but to start it.
