surprising africa – WhiteAfrican https://whiteafrican.com Where Africa and Technology Collide! Wed, 28 Dec 2022 14:02:29 +0000 en-US hourly 1 https://wordpress.org/?v=4.9.24 In Amsterdam for the Picnic Festival https://whiteafrican.com/2008/09/23/in-amsterdam-for-the-picnic-festival/ https://whiteafrican.com/2008/09/23/in-amsterdam-for-the-picnic-festival/#comments Tue, 23 Sep 2008 20:07:30 +0000 http://whiteafrican.com/?p=1488 I’m really excited to be almost on the airplane today as I’m heading to Picnic to take part in the festival. I’ll be speaking on Friday, the day focused on “Surprising Africa” (as in, you’d be surprised at what type of innovation is coming out of Africa).

If you take a look a the lineup of speakers it’s rather impressive. In fact, it’s a little depressing realizing that I have to go on stage right after the incomparable Binyavanga Wainaina. I had the pleasure of seeing him talk at TED Global last year in Tanzania, and he was even better there than in his normal writing. Besides Binyavanga, I’m also looking forward to hearing Ethan, Gisel Hiscock from Google, and Younghee Jung of Nokia.

Afrophile Meetup

Tomorrow evening (Wed, 24th at 6pm) a couple of us involved with tech in Africa are getting together for an Ethiopian dinner at the Abyssinia restaurant. If you’re free and want to come hang out for a couple hours, we’d love to have you.
