Africa Gathering

Co-Founder with Edward Scotcher of Africa Gathering.
Africa Gathering is leading the way in getting those involved in grass-roots technology, social-networking, mobile communications and Africa talking to one another, by organising events in the UK, continental Europe and Africa for the tech/Africa community.
Our first event in London had 200 attendees from all over the world from a mixed background of academia, medicine, technology, NGO and business who all came together to develop ideas, make new contacts and share knowledge. -
