    Right off the bat, I’ll be honest with you. If you weren’t at Africabeta, you missed a lot. I learned a lot from the conference. And as much as we tried to make everyone join in as it happened – via Twitter and livestream – you just had to be there to experience it in person.

    Still, that doesn’t mean we won’t try.

    They say a picture is worth a thousand words. Well, when you’re done with this picture gallery, could you do the math of how many “words” this post is worth? You can read the recap of all that happened at the event right here.

    Here are the pictures from the Africabeta Conference that held on Saturday.

    Here we are, at the venue: the Event Hall at Clear Essence Spa, Ikoyi
