Deep Learning Indaba𝕏 South Africa NPC

A Deep Learning Indaba𝕏 is a locally-organised “Indaba” or conference held annually that helps ensure that knowledge and capacity in machine learning are spread more widely across the African continent. With more than half the continent hosting an Indaba𝕏, we are building a community of machine learning practitioners and researchers with local impact and global influence.

I am director and CEO of the Deep Learning Indaba𝕏 South Africa NPC, a non-profit company that aims to strengthen machine learning in South Africa and beyond.

I am especially proud of the community aspect of the Indaba𝕏, and the fact that we have been able to bring together a diverse group of people from across the continent, and to help them build a network of peers and mentors.

We are a grassroots organisation that spun off from the Deep Learning Indaba in 2017. Our community is growing rapidly, and we are excited to see the impact that the Indaba movement will have on the African continent world.
