First Pan-African Women in Tech Meetup on August 2nd

From The Vim Views & Versions - Blogs of a MIghTy African Wed Jul 23 2014, 18:13:00

Ever since we started organizing our +Barcamp Ghana events, I've wanted the numbers of women attending these events to increase. We started with a huge tech focus, the theme for the first event was "The Business and Tech Renaissance". We had only 2 female resource personnel - +Estelle Akofio-Sowah who was with Busy Internet at the time and +Esi Cleland-Yankson of Afrochic. I believe tech and forward-thinking events held with a focus on women are really important in increasing the network and net work of both interlocking communities. Enter the First Pan-African Women in Tech Meetup

It's happening on Wednesday August 2. Some of my friends are involved as organizers or speakers - all awesome young women - +Ethel Cofie +Enyo Kumahor +Ella Ethel Mbewe +Chisenga Muyoya and +Barbara Birungi who I am still yet to meet. Check out this VimTechList post on #VimTechList: 11 young female African technology leaders to know about. Read the Press release below and participate.
