Ladies and Gentlemen. It's that time again where we are proud to announce another BarcampAfrica event in the Silicon Valley, CA.

Last year a we came to realize that conversation on Africa in the Silicon Valley was quite disheartening and rarely featured Technology despite all the wonderful work on the ground. In a quest to encourage positive conversations we reached out to the community, and with Google as a partner we hosted the first ever BarCampAfrica event at their Mountain View HQ. Here is a post-event writeup on Google's Corporate Blog.

Well it's been almost a year and given the fantastic conversations and continued engagement, we are looking forward to making this an annual community event. The first BarcampAfrica was a Barometer for how much there was a need for the conversation -- we defined a space, an active community and provided a platform for persistent conversations on Africa. The second event will be even more engaging given that there is a ready community and the conversation has only grown stronger in the last year.

As always, the objective of our event is to bring technologists and non-technologists working to promote Africa under one roof for a lively discussion.

Stay tuned and join the discussion via our a wiki and a twitter
