This year we have more than ten Africans coming from Africa. We are so proud to Welcome them in London.
Why should you come this June?
Africa Gathering is hosting a one-day tech conference, which will feature African Hub Managers and African Start-Ups.
This full-day conference will include three Group Thinking sessions with discussions around Leadership, Marketing and New Media, and the rise of Hub and Tech spaces in Africa: passionate and successful Africans from Liberia to Kampala will give insights into their experiences, plus answer your questions about how they started and how they’re building these places of belonging, where innovation, creativity and transformation are happening.
After lunch, in-country Village Chiefs of Africa (Hub Managers) will demonstrate how they are innovating and building successful start-ups in Africa, and share their experiences with Google UK, World Bank and Indigo Trust.
