What we do
Four complementary formats, from open meetups to the annual conference. All our events are free.
Our formats
Each format addresses a different need: discover, practice, build, or meet the ecosystem.
Gather, listen, share.
Meetups are the most accessible community gathering. One or two short presentations on an AI topic (a project, a research paper, a feedback session), followed by informal networking. Most are organized by GalsenAI ambassadors at their universities as part of the GalsenAI Ambassador Program. You come to listen, you leave with contacts.
Build real AI skills, hands-on.
Our workshops are intensive, practical sessions lasting a half to a full day. You'll dive into the code alongside community experts to master specific technical challenges: training a custom model, deploying a robust API, or building a dataset from scratch. We deliberately keep groups small to guarantee personalized mentorship for every participant.
Build something in 48 hours.
Hackathons bring together multidisciplinary teams around a concrete challenge, often rooted in a local problem: Senegalese open data, agriculture, health, national languages. Some projects born in a hackathon have continued their life within the community.
The annual meeting of Senegalese AI.
IndabaX Senegal is the national branch of the Deep Learning Indaba, the largest artificial intelligence conference on the African continent. Over several days, researchers, students, engineers, and companies gather for conferences, practical tutorials, and poster sessions.
Read a research paper, together.
Paper Reading is an activity dedicated to reading and discussing research articles. Each session allows the community to dissect a scientific paper and understand its key concepts, with special attention to applications that make sense in the African context.
