Start your brief
We are a professional conference organiser and event management company based in Nairobi. We take the whole weight of a conference off your shoulders, from the first brief to the final report, and deliver it with precision, care and a calm team that has seen it all.
Our clients are multilateral organisations, foundations, global knowledge institutions and international companies. They come to us because they need an event that carries their brand and message, meets institutional standards and lands on time. We bring nineteen years of experience, a trusted partner network across nine African countries and our own family of specialist companies to make that happen.
Waridi is Swahili for rose. Wanjiku Kariuki founded the company as waridikenya.com, Kenya’s first online portal connecting couples with wedding vendors in Nairobi.
We grew into planning corporate events, product launches and gala dinners, and learned what it takes to deliver to a corporate client’s standards.
We were named PCO of the Year at the Africa MICE Awards. The same year, we founded The Events Academy to train the next generation of event professionals.
We moved on from corporate event planning to focus entirely on conferences, summits and high-level meetings for multilateral organisations, foundations and global institutions.
Conferences need specialist vendors, so we built them: technical production, branding, décor and trained staff, all delivered by our own companies. Our clients deal with one team, backed by our own specialists.
We were recognised as Partner of the Year at the Nalafem Awards 2023.
Our sister company, The Events Academy, won Best Talent Development Programme at the Africa MICE Awards 2026.
To set the stage for global conversations.
It means we take the burden off your shoulders and deliver a conference that goes beyond your expectations. One that carries your brand and message, meets the needs of every attendee, respects your institution’s standards and lands on time and on budget, so you can focus on the conversations that matter.
Calm confidenceNineteen years of delivery means we have seen most things before. We stay composed when plans change, so you and your speakers can focus on the content.
A duty of careWe have a duty of care to our clients, our partners and the events industry at large, and we carry it into every decision we make.
Growing the industryWe invest in talent development and give back to the industry through knowledge transfer and The Events Academy.
