Agenda

Programme sessions for Megawatt Kenya

The programme below is the running order for the conference, published in full rather than as a list of highlights: every session, with its time, hall and speakers, so a visitor can plan a day around it.

The exhibitor directory and this programme are currently the 2026 Accra edition, published here while the Kenya 2027 line-up is being confirmed. That placement is stated at the top of the programme itself, so nobody mistakes last edition’s sessions for this one’s.
