Movers & Shakers is the friendly and informal networking space for arts professionals in attendance to discuss, exchange and develop ideas on the creative industries in East Africa and beyond. The forum takes place daily from 3:00 – 5:00pm at Monsoon Restaurant located behind the Forodhani Tunnel, just one minute walk from the Old Fort.

Sessions are free and open to local and visiting musicians, managers, venues, promoters, festivals organisers, journalists and related arts professionals, to meet and greet during the event.

This year we focus on success stories in the area of building sustainability in the arts and new initiatives. Each session will start with a short presentation or panel, and then welcome all to discuss further, with ample time for networking.
