The Deep Learning Indaba has always been a space for experimentation and growth. Since our first gathering in 2017, each Indaba has tested new ideas and formats — and this year is no different. We’re excited to announce one of our most significant steps yet: the Virtual Indaba.
In 2025, you can participate in the Indaba both in person and online. Whether you’re joining us from across Africa or around the world, the Virtual Indaba brings the spirit, learning, and community of the Indaba directly to you.
Joining is easy! Secure your Virtual Indaba pass through our official payment link:
