Preamble KSEEE International Conference is an annual event that brings engineers and other stakeholders together to share their expertise and experiences. This year’s theme “Engineering, Technology, Innovation & Entrepreneurship for a Green Economy” has been carefully selected to stimulate the Conference participants into relating their expertise in the field of engineering to the long cherished dream of Industrialization in Kenya and in other countries which find themselves in a similar situation like Kenya. The Conference Organizing Committee is therefore calling for research papers, policy papers and application-oriented papers to be presented during this year’s Annual Conference. Exhibitions There will be facilities and space at the conference venue for organisations and individuals to exhibit products and disseminate information relevant to the conference theme. Exhibitions fee Local and East African Community Participants International Participants Ksh10,000(100US$) Accommodation Accommodation is available in Mombasa town, with rates between US$ 40 (KES 3,200 per person per night) and US$ 250 (KES 20,000).
