HOW IT STARTED

Droidcon Kenya was born from the passion and dedication of the Android254 and Kotlin Kenya communities. The first event in 2018 attracted over 150 attendees and featured more than 50 sessions. Over the years, the conference has grown exponentially—by 2024, our community had expanded to over 3,000 attendees across all editions, with 200+ sessions and numerous partnerships.

The 2024 edition marked a significant milestone as we celebrated our 5th anniversary while also introducing the first-ever Fluttercon Kenya, creating an unprecedented collaborative environment for mobile developers across both ecosystems.

As we approach our 5th event, Droidcon Kenya has firmly established itself as a cornerstone for the mobile development community in Africa, creating countless opportunities for developers both within and beyond Sub-Saharan Africa.
