Tech4Africa is about great content,
relevance, and networking
For 2012
we've listened to delegate feedback and have changed the schedule to have
speakers doing shorter and punchier talks, with an emphasis on bite-sized
information that can be consumed and discussed with any platform. We've always
said that Tech4Africa is about learning, so don't expect any snore fests! Our speaker line-up for 2012 is taking shape,
and I'm sure you'd agree we're congregating some of the best minds in mobile
today. As such, here's a quick snapshot of what you can look forward to: Neal
Ford (Thoughtworks), Daryn Smith (InMobi), Tom Rosemelia (IBM), Ralph Simon
(Mobilium), Emma Kaye (Bozza), Verone Mankou (WayC), Mbwana Alliy (I/O
Ventures), Christo Davel (22Seven), Josh Adler (UNDP), Mayan Mathen (DiData),
Brett Loubser (BlazingChilli), Jon Hoehler (Deloitte), Toby Shapshak
(Journalist).
Introducing
the Tech4Africa Hackathon
One piece of
feedback we've received consistently is to have a greater breadth of tech
talks, with more depth, and by local speakers, so we're doing it! The
#Hackathon is for technical people to present, listen, learn and, umm, hack
stuff, with other folks that love doing the same thing. It's a super informal
gathering of techies over the duration of the event, and we're really looking
forward to it.
At the
#Hackathon you can look forward to: Agile development workshops, pair
programming, continuous integration, test-driven development, jQuery, RubyOnRails,
Progressive UX, Node.js, Raspberry PI, Problem solving, Mobile Monetisation
with InMobi, Assorted Scaling & Trickery Gotcha’s and Solutions, Social
Media Marketing, Social Engagement with Native, PHP/Python/LAMP, Virtualisation
for Haxors, EC2/Scala/Hadoop, Startup Fundraising Masterclass.
Hangout
with Top Tech Hubs on the Continent at Tech4Africa
Tech4Africa
will bring together a community of people from developers and social media
marketers, to investors and press, students to corporates, technologists to
tweeters.
While
speakers and discussions will cover what is happening across the continent, in
mobile, enterprise opportunities, social business and entrepreneurship, we also
want to bring Africa into the conference hall. Want to know what the hottest
app in Senegal is? What is the smartphone penetration in Liberia and what does
that mean for brands coming into the market? How much can a developer make in
Uganda? How are businesses in Egypt using social media?
Google will
be facilitating a G+Hangout with key tech hubs from across Africa. Hear from
the iHub, iLabLiberia, CairoHackspace, Bongohive, CTIC Dakar, Jokkolabs, Outbox
and KINU. Brett St.Clair will moderate the panel, take your questions and
navigate the continent’s technology landscape. Hook up with our G+ Community (at
LINK), and start saving up your questions now.
