Are you interested in the Web 2.0 and its applications in Africa?

One of the key subjects of Tech4Africa is the social web, on which recognized international and local thinkers will share their knowledge and experiences. The focus will be on the state and potential of Web 2.0 in Africa.

Clay Shirky, one of Tech4Africa’s keynote speakers, talks about the social and economic effects of Internet technologies, while our other keynote speaker, Matt Mullenweg, founding developer of WordPress, certainly has something to say about collaborative platforms and publishing on the Web.

Moreover, leading African thinkers and practitioners will talk on “There’s an elephant in the room. Embracing the new, social web“, “6 Secrets to becoming a jQuery ninja”, “How we redesigned a well known site, and why you need to know“ and “Unobtrusive interfaces with Javascript“. They will take attendees through what Web 2.0 and Social Media means for business and consumers, and what to do about it in Africa. More on them on the Speakers’ list.

Apart from Social Media and Web 2.0, many other relevant areas will be covered at Tech4Africa, like emerging technologies; mobile, wireless and cloud computing; entrepreneurship; search and marketing. Attendees will get a global perspective on the present and future of the technology in Africa. Check out our schedule to find talks interesting to you.
