Hyperledger Connects Africa

Hyperledger in Africa

Hello everyone,

Yessss!

It’s finally here! Our first Virtual Hyperledger Meetup!

And it gets even better. In the true spirit of Ubuntu (“I am because we are”), this month’s Meetup will be co-hosted with our friends from all over Africa (South Africa, Kenya, Senegal and beyond) to grow the Hyperledger community and drive adoption of enterprise blockchain solutions across the continent!

Lined-up speakers include David Boswell, Director of Ecosystem at Hyperledger and other blockchain industry leaders from across Africa, and for this event, you will need to install the Zoom (www.zoom.us) application on either your laptop or mobile to be able to participate.

Date: Thursday, April 30, 2020
Time: 5:00 PM to 6:00 PM Nigeria Time (GMT+1)
