Testimonials from DataCon Africa: Live

“I liked that I was able to go and view other topics in different streams running at the same time later in the day. At an in person event, I would have to choose one and miss out on the others. I also liked that I could watch the videos as it better suited my schedule and could still attend other meetings and calls without missing the presentations and discussion.” Charlene Spangenberg, Manager: PMO & Support, OpenServe ​ ​ ​ ​

“I didn’t imagine it could be a perfect event like that. Bravo!” Miemie Makinta, Compliance Leader, Vodacom ​ ​ ​ ​

“Extremely well organised and coordinated. Well done!” Bryn Davies, CEO, InfoBluePrint ​ ​ ​ ​

“Great speakers overall. Very informative!” Mishumo Dzhivhuho, Senior Manager: Data Science, MTN ​ ​ ​ ​

“Extremely well organized event. I would love to take part in future events. A big thank you to all the presenters for sharing the knowledge” Hitten Patni, Manager: Centralised Operations, Diamond Trust Bank Kenya ​ ​ ​ ​
