About The Deep Learning Indaba
The Deep Learning Indaba exists to celebrate and strengthen machine learning in Africa through state-of-the-art teaching, networking, policy debate, and through our support programmes, such as the IndabaX and the Kambule and Maathai awards. We work towards the vision of Africans becoming critical contributors, owners, and shapers of the coming advances in artificial intelligence and machine learning.

Looking Back at the Deep Learning Indaba 2017
The Indaba was a brilliant experience! I loved it and I am happy to have been a part of it. In particular it was a privelge to help with the practicals. Meeting and talking with all of the speakers and the organisers in particular was amazing. Everyone was very happy to talk and give advice. This Indaba was a life changing experience for me and it got me very excited for my future. In particular it convinced me to do a PhD and push my self even harder to do well. Thank you!
What a great experience. The organisers did a fantastic job. I am looking forward to future Deep Learning Indabas and will definitely make a contribution once I have the means to do so. As a sponsored student I could not have been more grateful for the opportunity.
Excellent job, organisers! It was by far the best event of it’s kind that I’ve been to, counting all conferences and anything similar. It was amazing, both as a learning experience and in terms of the atmosphere for the whole week. Many of us feel very inspired as a result! I for one am busy organising a group to get together and do similar pracs on a regular basis, as I think it’s an excellent way to build everyone’s knowledge and interact with each other.
I am very glad to have met so many awesome people that week, both the organisers/speakers and those attending. I hope it won’t be the last of its kind!
