African tech is on the rise! AfricArena accelerates the growth of tech startups and the ecosystems in which they operate by providing a platform where they can share their business model, gain valuable networks and attain funding.
I was part of the founding team in 2017 of this young and exciting conference. I am the event designer, which includes designing the immersive stages and exhibition stands for the flagship conference in Cape Town as well as the postponed event (June 2020) in Paris.
