The National Agĩkũyũ Culture Convention (NACC) 2026 is organized by Maina & Mwangi Trust — dedicated to the preservation, promotion and advancement of Agĩkũyũ culture, spirituality and heritage.
The Convention will bring together scholars, cultural practitioners, community leaders, policymakers, women leaders and youth to shape the community's trajectory for the next 50 years.
Each sub-theme anchors a day of presentations, panels and cultural workshops.
Exploring the deep spiritual foundations and philosophical traditions that have long defined the Agĩkũyũ identity and their relationship with Ngai.
Examining the community's relationship with land, the family unit, health systems and the economic foundations built on hard work and pragmatism.
Charting a bold, community-driven strategic roadmap for the next 50 years — drawing strength from historical roots to build a sustainable future.
