Africa Gathering

on February 20th, 2010

What is the Africa Gathering about?
Africa Gathering provides a space to bring technophiles, thinkers, entrepreneurs, innovators and everybody else together to talk about positive change in sustainable development, technology, social networking, health, education, environment, and good governance in Africa.

Why do we need an Africa Gathering?
Africa Gathering has been born out of the need to develop a results-driven conversation about technology and Africa. All over the world, people have great ideas that could bring positive change to Africa. Many, though not all, of these people, aren’t big charities or aid organisations – they are passionate individuals, inventors, thinkers, and dreamers. These people may not have a lot of money, time, or the business acumen to promote their ideas on their own – but, that doesn’t mean their ideas should be ignored. Africa Gathering helps generate interest in these people, share their ideas, and promote their projects. We’re here to help bring innovators into contact with journalists, entrepreneurs, and investors – the very people who have the ability to recognise a good idea and help make it work!

Why should I come to the event?
We are targeting everyone who believes that technology can help bring positive change, from big businesses to one-man outfits, educators to entrepreneurs, in short, people who  understand Africa and those who want to understand Africa better.

Who should come to the Africa Gathering:

  • If  you own/manage a business  – to find out what other businesses are doing, to meet and engage with this business community
  • If  you’re an investor – to expose yourself to some of the most creative raw talent in the tech/Africa field
  • If  you’re an entrepreneur – to meet other motivated people like who are passionate about technology and positive social change
  • If you’re an inventor/innovator – come and be inspired by other creative minds. Talk, learn, and share.
  • If you’re just interested – you’d be surprised at how much you can help by simply thinking about the ideas that are presented, making suggestions, and feeling the atmosphere, it all helps. If you don’t come, you’ll never know how you can fit in.
