EDUCATORS WERE CHALLENGED TO THINK DIFFERENTLY! Running for the 4th year, the conference saw over 300 industry leaders from various African countries come together to exchange learning outcomes both inside and outside the classroom. In 2018, the two day line-up featured incredible speakers from the education sector and government, hosted over 110 conference sessions, a pre-event workshop, onsite workshops and 20 roundtable discussions. With 6 streams and 150 speakers each discussing gripping topics and overflowing ideas, the conference has inspired change in the African EdTech industry.
