Plates & Partnerships

​Breaking Bread. Building Collaborations.

​Plates & Partnerships is a curated potluck meetup designed for Nairobi’s community managers, engagement leads, and ecosystem enablers. This gathering offers a relaxed, intentional space to connect, reflect, and collaborate with fellow community builders who power Nairobi’s innovation, creative, and impact spaces.
