It’s not too long ago we were asking what happened to Barcamp Nigeria. Well, after a 2 year-long hiatus, Barcamp Nigeria will finally return this August.
BarCamp is an international network of user-generated unconferences primarily focused around technology and the web. An unconference is a participant-driven gathering where all attendees are both speakers and learners. Everyone comes with something to share and is given a platform to share it.
The first edition of Barcamp Nigeria was held in Lagos back in 2009. It went on for 2 consecutive years before going on a long break after 2011. It will return this August with a focus on Startups. A keynote will be delivered by Ayodeji Adewunmi, CEO of Jobberman and co-host of first Barcamp Nigeria held in 2009. Event details are below:
