The NAOT Kenya Scientific Conference and AGM 2026 is listed for 28 to 30 October 2026, bringing together orthopaedic technologists, colleagues, partners and friends under the tagline “Advance Prosthetics and Orthotics in Kenya”. The event is organised by the National Association of Orthopaedic Technologists Kenya (NAOT-K), according to its listing on AllEvents.
What is the NAOT Kenya Scientific Conference and AGM 2026?
The listing describes a national scientific conference combined with the association’s annual general meeting. Its stated aims are to “learn, share, innovate, network and transform” in prosthetics and orthotics in Kenya. Orthopaedic technologists are the main prosthetic and orthotic workforce in many Kenyan facilities, so the meeting is a regular point for professional exchange and for association business.
When and where is it?
The description gives the dates as Wednesday 28 to Friday 30 October 2026. The listing’s technical start and end times run from 10:00 on 28 October to 02:00 on 31 October (East Africa Time), which is consistent with a three-day programme finishing late on 30 October.
The venue is less clear. The listing names Kilili Baharini Beach Resort in Malindi, but its address and map coordinates point to a location in Nairobi. IMEA CPO could not resolve this from the listing alone, so anyone planning to attend should confirm the venue directly with NAOT-K.
What is not yet known?
The listing does not include a programme, named speakers, registration process, fees, CPD points or contact details, and its ticket section is empty. IMEA CPO has no further information from the organiser, and this article is based only on the public event listing.
Why does it matter for CPOs in Kenya and the region?
Kenya’s prosthetic and orthotic sector is developing in several directions. IMEA CPO has recently reported on the Kitale prosthetics outreach, the KSh7 million boost for Trans Nzoia prosthetics production, a new prosthetics centre at AIC Litein Hospital and the OTN Insight platform for the Kenyan community. Our Kenya country profile gives wider background. A national scientific meeting gives practitioners a chance to discuss clinical practice, workforce needs and standards in one place.
IMEA CPO Perspective
Professional association meetings are one of the main ways small, dispersed workforces build shared standards, and for suppliers, training providers and NGOs working in Kenya they are a route to the people who deliver care. Because the published detail is thin, IMEA CPO invites NAOT-K to share its programme, speakers and registration information, and will update this article if it does. Readers attending are welcome to send reports and photographs.
