Ever since Safaricom officially opened the Michael Joseph Centre at Safaricom House in 2008 specifically for activities, events and exhibitions, the Nairobi community has been nothing but grateful for the space provided.
Getting a spacious, well-equipped, pocket-friendly and accessible venue in Nairobi has been one of the toughest things organizers in the city have always had to hustle their way through.
Located on the ground floor of the HQ2 Safaricom Building, the Centre is easily accessible through its own separate entry. It is open Monday through Friday from 8:00 a.m. to 5:00 p.m. and has really helped entrepreneurs, entertainers and speakers grow their businesses.
Here are four ways the center has revolutionized events in Kenya.
- Hustle free and easily accessible space
Sometimes you might have the money but landing a venue in Nairobi might still look impossible. Getting a venue in most cases has been reduced to a hectic procedure that requires a lot of back and forth.
