Please allow me to introduce Afri-Tech 2011 Kenya Summit!
The Afri-Tech summit on ‘Digital and Internet Marketing’ to be held in Kenya (June, 2011) is most appropriately timed considering the resurgence of Africa as one of the most untapped business destination. Outstanding business luminaries, philanthropists, government decision makers and Digital Marketing pundits will be participating in this four day historic conference.

The spotlight in this year’s conference in Nairobi (Kenya) will be on ‘Internet and Digital’ marketing. It is projected to be the largest gathering of digital media gurus and industry pioneers in the continent of Africa. The conference is being organized in the spectacular pavilion of Kenyatta International Conference Centre (KICC) from 15th to 18th of June, 2011.

Look forward to your views and suggestions!

Hash thanks for this, is there any way of sharing the Calender between the diff Tech sites around Africa? I sometimes blog events would be cool if we had a centralized calender for all African events that could be displayed on all blogs.

GSS
* Name: Global Standards Symposium (GSS)
* Dates: 20 October 2008
* Venue: Emperors Palace Convention Centre
* City, Country: Kempton Park, South Africa
* Website: http://www.itu.int/ITU-T/wtsa-08/gss/
* Short summary of event: The GSS will bring together standards makers and other interested parties to discuss how developing countries can become better involved in the standards making process (bridging the standardization gap). Additionally the event will examine global ICT standards challenges, such as accessibility, climate change and collaboration among standards development organisations.

GSS should be more interesting than the following WTSA at the same venue.

Nice work, my friend!

I remember asking you about this some time ago, and ever since it’s been a challenge keeping tabs on the increasing numbers of events. Have subscribed to the calendar RSS feed.

A huge thanks from me, and no doubt many others, for this!
