Kitwe
Go BackDynamic. Youthful. Industrial.
Kitwe, Zambia’s second-largest city, buzzes with youthful energy, entrepreneurial spirit, and industrial heritage. It’s a smart choice for youth forums, tech events, training summits, and creative showcases, offering both traditional conference halls and a rising number of innovation spaces.
Key venues include Moba Hotel and Convention Centre, Garden Court Hotel, and the Copperbelt University Conference Centre, catering to both academic and private-sector audiences. Kitwe’s central location in the Copperbelt makes it a natural hub for multi-stakeholder events involving mining, education, and social entrepreneurship.
The city’s vibe is younger and more experimental than Ndola’s, with art galleries, co-working cafes, and community spaces popping up around town. This makes Kitwe an ideal location for events targeting youth leaders, digital creators, or start-up incubators. The city’s music and fashion scenes also lend themselves well to hybrid events that mix panels with performance.
While not a tourist city, Kitwe’s local parks, mines, and markets offer immersive field visits that can be woven into leadership programmes or skills workshops. Events here move fast, speak loud, and think ahead.
