Building Africa's Live Entertainment Workforce
"Where world-class productions meet local expertise"
When global artists bring their world tours to Africa, they bring everything—including the crews who build the show. Local technicians stand in the wings, watching foreign crews assemble stages they could build themselves, if only they had the training. CDI exists to change that story.

On-site and virtual production management. Industry professionals mentoring and supporting local crews on real productions.
