Founders building in cryptocurrency, decentralized finance, and broader Web3 ecosystems will find direct value here, particularly if they are targeting African markets. It also serves tech entrepreneurs looking to demo products or interface with enterprise partners.
What happens
Activity kicks off with an executive leaders' dinner at Four Points by Sheraton. The middle two days offer bootcamps, main stage keynotes, expert panels, an expo, and a pitch fest, concluding on the fourth evening with an after-hours gathering at La Maison de Fahrenheit.
Who's in the room
