“ Don’t miss out, it’s still free for all. Last year we had more than 11,000 registrations and had to make arrangements to have the event streamed on the internet. This year we have made adequate preparation to ensure that we have provision for both audio and video streaming for our audience in diaspora or who for one reason or the other will not be able to attend the event at the Muson Centre, we believe every young man or woman who wants to set in motion a business or enterprise driven by technology should not miss this event.
