Advancing consequential conversations
Intellectually
restless minds
in Nairobi are
assembling...
Limited seats,
unlimited opinions...
We are the Kona Café Society.
A convening platform and collective that brings together thought leaders, policy makers, academics, domain experts and creatives to unpack the dynamics of our world.
How We Convene
We convene and provide a platform for live audiences to explore the process of creating specific documentaries/ films and use specific films to advance consequential conversations that impact our society. We also convene panel discussions on more urgent and contemporary subjects.
We believe, strongly, that knowledge is most useful in propagation. Out of that full-blown conviction, we host domain experts to share their niche knowhow to lay audiences, in methods that would invite considered responses.
At the intersection of policy, industry, and the public, we drive conversations that expand our collective for what matters and for the public good. We break down key industry policies e.g. tech laws, government/ corporate decisions to audiences for better uptake, debate, feedback. And keep leaders engaged.
