AFRICA BLOCKCHAIN CONFERENCE ATTRACTS OVER 3000 ATTENDEES
(Posted 05th July 2019)
The 2019 edition of the Africa Blockchain Conference ended yesterday at the Kampala Serena Conference Centre with over 3000 people attending the various sessions.
Some 50 speakers shared their wisdom with delegates while the high tech exhibition which took place alongside the conference was swamped with visitors.
The Uganda Tourism Board used the opportunity to showcase the country’s attractions to the delegates, who came from not just across Africa but from many parts of the world to get the latest trends and updates on what many see is Africa’s cyber-economy revolution.
The conference theme “Africa 4.0: Preparing Africa for the 4th Industrial Revolution” focused on what the 4th Industrial Revolution (4IR) is, what opportunities it presents, what threats it poses and what Africa must do to leverage 4IR for its development.
Alongside the conference did the organizers run the “Africa 4.0 Tech Expo,” an experiential journey showcasing the leading technology innovations and applications in Africa.
The organizers, in their roundup, commented favourably on their choice of location – being the Ugandan capital city of Kampala – as well as on their chosen venue – the Kampala Serena Conference Centre.
Serena Hotels is in the final planning stages of upgrading and modernizing the conference centre, which is attached to the Kampala Serena Hotel, and when details of the state of the art new equipment and installations are ready for publication be sure to find the information on www.ATCNews.org.
