I had the pleasure of attending Barcamp Ghana in December last year. It was an inspirational event that i will urge all to, if given the opportunity to attend.

This week (saturday), on June 12th Barcamp Nairobi in conjunction with WhereCampAfrica will take place at Nairobi’s (Kenya) iHub and NaiLab, starting at 9am.

“Barcamp is an ad-hoc gathering born from the desire for people to share and learn in an open environment. It is an intense event with discussions, demos and interaction from participants who are the main actors of the event.”

Register here. There are already about 300 planning to attend.
