Welcome to Tech4Africa 2013!
 Since we've started, we've made it a priority to listen to the tech community at large so that we could get better and better. 2012 Saw us get a lot of great feedback for the developer day we held, and the general change in format of the 2 day conference.
Overwhelmingly, you folks asked for more developer days, deeper content, shorter high level talks, and more focus on African tech. Similarly, we've been getting requests for #T4A in countries all over Africa.
Well, after a lot of work and preparation for 2013, we're proud to start kicking things off!
Please put these dates into your calendar.
Get in touch if you have any questions.
We've also launched our new site so please bear with us as we iron out the kinks - any feedback and bug reporting is much appreciated! ;-)
