While still reflecting on AfrikaCamp Vienna and the interesting talks and experiences we had there, we stumbled upon the next promising event which perfectly fits to our approach of ICT4D.

Africa Gathering in London on 25th April is

A day for thinkers, supporters, sponsors, doers, geeks, dreamers – and everybody else to come and share, promote, highlight, progress and evolve issues related to ICT, social networking and technology in Africa.

It is organized by Edward Scotcher and Mark Simpkins (geekyoto) and on the speakers list there are:

• Ken Banks (kiwanja.net & FrontlineSMS)
• Tim Unwin (ICT4D collective – UNESCO Chair in ICT4D)
• David Thomas (David Thomas Media and formerly of BBC World Service English)
• Ben Hammersley (Associate Editor of Wired magazine)
• Nigel Waller (movirtu.com)
• Sian Townsend (Google)

So this appears to be a really exciting event – and ICT4D.at will be present. We’re already looking forward to it!
