**Overview:**

A 3-days hybrid event to educate the Polkadot & Kusama community in Africa about the ecosystem and use case of Polkadot & Kusama Network, to attract talented developers from this region to the ecosystem and expose them to different tools, infrastructure and resources available to enable them build and deploy dApps in a seamless manner.

**Objective:**

A Polkadot Conference aimed at onboarding (technical and non-technical) Africans into the blockchain space. The aim is to bring together individuals, startups and existing projects (both within and outside the Polkadot ecosystem), introduce key components of the ecosystem, share ideas, and expose attendees to opportunities in the ecosystem.


This will help improve the reach to individual and business entities who haven’t heard of (or know little about) the ecosystem as well as those who are quite versed, but will like to dive deeper (and participate more) in the ecosystem.
