Nairobi Tech Events: What's Happening This Week (June 8–14, 2026)

Nairobi enters the second week of June by moving its focus back onto grass-roots creation and engineering community building.

Grab your laptop; here is your roadmap for the week.

8th Zetech University Research and Innovation Week will be happening Tuesday, June 9th — Thursday, June 11th

Zetech University is launching its eighth annual research week, opening up a three-day arena dedicated to peer-reviewed research presentations, student engineering showcases, and physical innovation booths. This year’s track runs under the theme "Driving Sustainable Futures through Research, Innovation and Industry." Why it matters: If you are an ecosystem researcher, early-stage angel investor, or an incubation program leader looking to scout unvetted, raw intellectual property directly out of Kenya's university ecosystem, this is absolutely worth the drive up the highway. Time: Tuesday, June 9 – Thursday, June 11 | 8:00 AM – 5:00 PM East Africa Time Location: Technology Park, Mangu Campus (Zetech University) Register: Secure Exhibition and Delegate Access

Odoo Academy Invoicing – Nairobi will be happening on Wednesday, June 10th

The local Odoo technical team is running a hands-on, highly practical training module focused squarely on maximizing their core invoicing and automated billing systems. The half-day masterclass is designed to walk through precise configuration tracks, tax compliance handling, and automated reconciliation pipelines. Who should attend: Finance leads, technical operations managers, and small-and-medium enterprise owners running active accounting frameworks who need to tighten up their production workflows before the next major billing cycle drops.

AfropopTech Hangout will be happening on Friday, June 12th

An evening social completely stripped of long, monotonous panels and corporate sponsor speeches. The AfropopTech hangout is engineered directly for engineers, product designers, and aspiring tech founders who want high-value face-time with local recruiters, tech leads, and active investors in a completely relaxed setting layered with technical trivia and live music sets. Note: The low-cost Comrade Pass tier is fully sold out, but Solo and VIP entry lines remain accessible.

Nairobi Tech Mixer and Social will be happening on Friday, June 12th

The city's unscripted weekly after-work wind-down continues its regular run at the Rabbit Hole Lounge. This entirely fluid social layout draws a strong baseline crowd of software developers, machine learning practitioners, data engineers, and general IT leads. No rigid pitch decks, no scheduled presentations—just the regional tech stack linking up informally to decompress at the close of the business week. Time: Friday, June 12 | 7:00 PM East Africa Time onwards Location: Rabbit Hole Lounge, Enterprise Road, Industrial Area, Nairobi Cost: Free Tickets: Grab Mixer Entry

Scala Everywhere will be happening on Saturday, June 13th

The Nairobi Scala User Group is gathering for its monthly ecosystem checkpoint. This focused, three-hour technical track is built to give developers an interactive look into functional programming patterns, advanced type systems, and concurrency models. Whether you are actively compiling Scala code in a production environment or an engineer exploring its utility for the first time, this is the room to audit. Note: The exact physical meetup venue is currently being finalized—make sure to audit the official community hub for updates before moving out. Time: Saturday, June 13 | 4:00 PM – 7:00 PM East Africa Time Location: Venue To Be Determined, Nairobi Cost: Free RSVP: Join the User Group Registry
