New York theatre has Broadway shows (the main events), off-Broadway shows (smaller productions), and then off-off Broadway... meaning even less formal fare.
The Africa Climate Summit in Nairobi functions much the same way. Main events are attended by 20 or so heads of state. Expect the big announcements there.
Side events such as panels and working groups happen at the Kenyatta International Convention Centre alongside the main events.
And then there are the side-side events. Climate investors, innovators and operators will gather at various private and public sites across the city to network and add depth to their interaction.
List of side-side events: We have compiled a guide to who holds court elsewhere in Nairobi during the biggest ever get-together of African climate professionals. Click here for the full listing »
