Deep Learning Indaba 2025

Deep Learning Indaba 2025 is Africa's premier gathering for machine learning and artificial intelligence, founded with the mission of strengthening African participation in and ownership of AI research. Each year, Indaba brings together hundreds of African students, researchers, and practitioners for an intensive week of learning, collaboration, and community building.

The program features lectures by world-class researchers, hands-on tutorials, poster sessions, and social activities designed to foster a thriving pan-African AI ecosystem. Topics range from foundational deep learning and NLP to AI for health, agriculture, climate, and African languages. Indaba is especially vital for graduate students and early-career researchers on the continent who seek mentorship, networking, and exposure to the global AI frontier while centering African problems and perspectives.
