GAIME Conference Announces New AI Innovations in Kampala

Discover how GAIME Conference is transforming AI discussions with fresh perspectives from Kampala, Uganda.

In the heart of Kampala, Uganda, a quiet revolution is unfolding in the world of artificial intelligence. Unlike anything seen before in the tech industry, the GAIME Conference is reshaping how AI is discussed, developed, and deployed, challenging traditional conventions and bringing new perspectives to the forefront. It’s not just another tech event; it’s an evolution of what global collaboration and innovation in AI could look like.

Kampala, Uganda, 1st Sep 2025 – Imagine a sixteen-year-old coding prodigy from Nairobi sharing ideas with a Fortune 500 CEO about the future of AI, or a traditional healer discussing indigenous knowledge with an Oxford neuroscientist. These are the kinds of unpredictable, high-impact exchanges that GAIME creates—not through pre-scripted panels, but through spontaneous “productive collisions” that break down boundaries and foster creativity. This is the essence of GAIME Conference—an event where real change is made in real time.

At the helm of this transformative experience is LaMine N’tambi-Sanogo, Managing Partner of CERFODES. His leadership has turned GAIME into a platform that doesn’t just showcase AI but challenges participants to explore what AI could become and how it can be shaped by diverse, global voices.

A Vision for Transformation

GAIME Conference was born out of a simple but powerful question: What if AI’s next big evolution happened not in Silicon Valley, but in Africa?

For LaMine and his team, this question was more than just a reflection of location—it was a call to redefine the conversation around AI. The idea was clear: AI’s future should be shaped by diverse voices and perspectives. Africa, with its vibrant culture and rapidly evolving technological landscape, offered the perfect backdrop to challenge conventional thinking. Kampala, Uganda, became the event’s home, positioning the conference as a unique intersection of technology, society, and human creativity.

But launching a high-profile AI conference in Africa presented its own challenges. Many questioned whether Kampala could support an event of this scale, wondering whether it had the necessary infrastructure, talent, and attention from the global tech community. However, LaMine and his team were committed to proving that innovation thrives in places where constraints breed creativity. The conference wasn’t just about organizing an event—it was about crafting a space where new ideas could emerge, regardless of traditional barriers.

Redefining Networking with AI

A key turning point for GAIME’s inaugural conference came with the introduction of the “Invisible Conference”—an AI-powered networking system designed to facilitate unexpected, impactful connections. Unlike traditional conferences, where participants rely on scheduled meetings or chance encounters, GAIME’s Invisible Conference uses AI to analyze attendees’ conversations and suggest potential collaborators based on shared expertise or mutual interests.

This AI-driven approach enables spontaneous interactions that would typically not occur in more structured environments. For instance, at our first GAIME conference, we would like to see for instance a Ugandan agricultural startup connect with researchers in Berlin to develop an AI model for explaining complex data—an idea that can only emerged organically through real-time networking powered by AI.

This innovative networking layer is just one example of how GAIME is redefining the conference experience. It’s no longer about waiting for the right speaker or panel; it’s about creating environments where meaningful interactions can happen naturally, often leading to real breakthroughs in AI and beyond.

What Makes GAIME Unique Today?

GAIME Conference stands out for several reasons. First, its format is radically different from traditional tech events. Instead of static presentations, GAIME focuses on “Convergence Sessions,” where people from vastly different fields—venture capitalists, academics, engineers, and more—engage in organic, unscripted dialogue. These sessions encourage cross-pollination of ideas, allowing participants to collaborate in ways that traditional conferences simply don’t allow.

Secondly, the location itself is a defining feature. By holding the event in Kampala, Uganda, GAIME signals a shift in the global tech conversation. While most major tech events are held in Western cities like San Francisco or Singapore, GAIME embraces Uganda’s rich potential as a hub for innovation. This strategic choice places the conference at the heart of a region that is rapidly developing its own solutions to critical issues, from financial technology for the unbanked to AI applications for preserving cultural heritage.

Moreover, GAIME’s partnership model is unconventional. Rather than simply offering sponsorship opportunities, the conference invites organizations to become part of a movement. The aim is to attract those who are not just looking for logo placement but are invested in helping shape AI’s future. This shift in mindset elevates the event as not just a moment for branding, but a step in a broader, more collaborative technological evolution.

Seize the Moment

GAIME Conference is not just an event—it is a call to action for those who want to be part of a transformation. The conversations and connections made at GAIME are shaping the future of AI, and early participation is key to accessing the opportunities that emerge from the conference’s dynamic environment.

The AI landscape is rapidly changing, and the question is no longer about what can be built but what should be built and who will be involved in making those decisions. GAIME offers a unique platform where thought leaders, innovators, and companies can not only contribute to the conversation but actively shape its direction.

For anyone interested in being a part of this transformative movement, GAIME Conference is an opportunity to engage with the future of AI in a way that no other conference offers. Don’t miss your chance to be at the center of this evolution.
