KINDLY NOTE THAT THIS EVENT HAS BEEN POSTPONED DUE TO A FEW LOGISTICAL ISSUES TO A FUTURE DATE THAT WILL BE MADE PUBLIC AS SOON AS POSSIBLE. OUR SINCERE APOLOGIES FOR INCONVENIENCES CAUSED!! SHARE WIDELY. Original date was the 14th of October 2017.

Modeling for the past years was considered as a waste of time and energy; but of late it is a career in developing countries just like in the developed countries and that people venture in as a source of income. With many pageants that are being held from the county levels in Kenya to national and international levels, they have brought a lot of glory to Kenya both nationally and internationally.
The pageants have also taken some of the Kenyan companies far in terms of business mileage. Despite all these benefits, Kenyan models have been facing quite a number of challenges that have never been tackled. Kenya Models Conference is an event that will be hosted by Mr/Miss Trade East Africa and Fotophreak Magazine.
The purpose of this conference is to address key challenges in the modeling industry and forge ways out of how the government can empower the industry and the models. It is also meant as an initiative for the government to tap into the talents available in Kenya. The conference is planned to mark the auditions of Mr/Miss trade East Africa that will be happening in December at K.I.C.C.

The event will be opened by the deputy president William Ruto who will be accompanied by the Nairobi City County governor Mike Sonko, the CS in charge of Sports, Culture and Arts among other government dignitaries. In attendance will also be some Kenyan celebs in fashion industry, sports, media and music industry.
