K&A sponsors Esri East Africa User Conference 2016 and presents “The Paperless Census”.

The Eastern African community’s long-term growth prospect appears to be solid and the main pillars for this are its increasingly broadband based economy and the youthful population. This year the city of Kisumu hosted the Esri East Africa User Conference 2016. The 11th edition of this important conference was inaugurated by Prof. Jacob Kaimenyi, Cabinet Secretary, Ministry of Lands and Physical Planning, Kenya. A keen supporter of progress and professional interaction, K&A was a Bronze sponsor for this event and had a booth that came to life with a lot of interesting discussions and exchanges. We also presented a paper titled “The Paperless Census”.

The event was attended by hundreds of Esri GIS users from Kenya, Tanzania, Uganda, Ethiopia, Djibouti, Eritrea, and the rest of the world. It was an ideal platform to learn, network and share their experiences while discovering all the new developments related to Esri and GIS technologies. The conference featured an outstanding composition of plenary sessions, training classes, exhibition, seminars, and meetings. Paper and technical sessions all centered on leveraging geospatial technology and innovative solutions for business, government and society.
