On 7 February 2026, the Data Labelers Association brings together data workers, advocates, and allies at the Nairobi Arboretum for a day dedicated to ethical AI, workers’ rights, and mental well-being.

This free, community-centered event blends critical conversations on safety, mental health, and digital rights with team-building and sports activities, creating space not just to learn, but to connect, heal, and build solidarity.

Whether you join us in person or via live stream on https://www.youtube.com/live/udmfhPngjaA?si=lF4FZGYdK9LK75aD, this is a moment to reaffirm a simple truth: ethical AI begins with dignified work.
