After the recent successful AFRICON Conferences in Botswana and Namibia,

Nairobi, Kenya. AFRICON, the top-event of IEEE in Africa, is a forum for

professionals, academia and industry to exchange ideas, present their newest

research findings and to network. Be there for experiencing top-notch science

and a vibrant social program in beautiful Kenya!

Venue

Conceived over 50 years ago, the Safari Park Hotel and Casino has grown from

a British Army officer¡¯s retreat during the Colonial period to its current status as

a world-renowned inland resort.

Surrounded by sprawling 64-acre grounds, the Safari Park Hotel combines the

intrigue of African architecture and art with an infrastructure on the cutting edge

of technology. Only 15 minutes from downtown Nairobi, you will have the

unique opportunity to experience the fast pace of the city and escape back to

the expanse and serenity of the hotel.

In addition to accommodation and conference facilities, the hotel provides a
