When I see how quickly the tickets to this event are selling
out, I cannot help but feel like I should have posted about it sooner. However,
there are still more remaining so all hope is not lost.
This will be the 8th edition of the Barcamp
Nairobi which is Nairobi’s premier technology event and it will be held on
Saturday, 30th August, 2014. Barcamp is produced by Skunkworks Kenya
– a disruptive collective of Kenya’s best looking and best skilled techies and
it will be jointly hosted for the second year by +iHub, Nailab and m:Lab East
Africa at Bishop Magua Centre, Ngong Road.
Barcamp is an unconference and what this means is that the participants get to run it! Attendees set the agenda for what is to be discussed, lead the sessions and workshops that fill the schedule, and create an environment of innovation and productive discussion.
The theme for this year’s edition is: Who’s Your Data’s
Daddy? Funny, I know. But it makes sense if you really think about it. We
entrust our most sensitive, private and important information to private
technology companies. At the same time, the increasing usage of technology has
attracted the attention of authorities eager to provide caveats on the openness
of the internet and the range of freedoms, which we enjoy online.
So, who should attend? This event is for the curious, the
unconventional, the brilliant, the resilient, thinkers, hackers, hackers, crackers,
builders, coders, techies, writers, artists, ninjas…well, literally everyone!
It is free to attend so read more on what to bring and what to expect during the event here {Original Post} and
also how you can go about registering for the event.
For those who will not be able to join us in person for the
event, the conversation can be followed on twitter using this hash tag:
#BarcampNBI. Other than that, I
hope to see you there.
Have a good day.
Cheers!
#HappyDays
