Counting Down To African Women in Space Conference 2027
Two days that redefine what's possible
The African Women in Space Conference brings together the continent's boldest voices in space and geospatial innovation for two days of ideas, connection and momentum in the heart of Nairobi.
This year's theme, Beyond Limits, Beyond Borders, is a call to push past the barriers that have long kept women out of decision-making rooms — from funding tables to mission control.
Expect keynotes from sector leaders, hands-on workshops, live mentorship and a room full of the people building Africa's next chapter in space.
