Why energy teams base themselves in Karen
One contact for a staggered team. Stand builders, sales engineers and your country manager rarely land on the same flight. We keep track of who arrives when, help with the rooming list and can provide invoices and receipts on request.
A room that works after the halls close. Every room has a work desk and Starlink Wi-Fi. If the power drops, our generator keeps guest rooms and Wi-Fi running, so evening quotes and procurement follow-ups still go out.
Room to stay on for the real work. Powerelec often opens conversations that need a second meeting: an EPC partner in town, a distributor review, a visit to a project you are pricing. Add nights before or after the show and we will help plan the days.
Rooms for your stay
A private balcony for a quiet coffee before the drive to Westlands.
Balconies and bathtubs are named in each room title. Separately, some of our premium rooms have a hot tub. Ask us which are available for your dates.

Sample plan for an exhibitor team (not the official programme)
- Build days before opening: the stand crew lands first; check build times with the organiser. We can arrange JKIA pickups and a packed breakfast for early starts at the hall.
- Show days, 10–12 November: sales engineers and management join. Breakfast from 7:00, transport to Westlands on a quoted basis, dinner at the hotel if the day runs long.
- Breakdown night: keep at least one room for the crew clearing the stand on the final evening.
- Follow-up days: hold rooms for the people staying on for distributor meetings or project visits. Please arrange any site access directly with the project owner.

Getting to Sarit Expo Centre from Karen
Sarit Expo Centre is in Westlands, north of the city centre and on the other side of Nairobi from Karen. Your team will need a vehicle each day, and it pays to leave early on build and opening days. Journey times vary with Nairobi traffic; check a live traffic app for your schedule. Transport to the venue is quoted on request.
Stay a little longer
- Take a morning at the Giraffe Centre, here in Karen.
- Book a guided Nairobi National Park half-day tour before your flight.
- Plan a longer safari with our partner Travel Corp. Itineraries are quoted and operated by the partner; park fees are extra. See safari stays.
- Walk a few steps to The Waterfront Karen, or dine at Cave à Manger in Karen Plains Arcade.
