ICT Africa 2007
October 1-5
The Kenyatta International Conference Centre, Nairobi, Kenya

ICT Africa is an annual continental information and communications 
technology conference addressing all aspects of ICT development in 
Africa. The conference is convened by NEPAD council in collaboration 
with the NEPAD Kenya secretariat. The 2007 event will be organized by 
Global Conferences, Cape Town, South Africa.

ICT Africa 2007 is scheduled for October 1 to 5. The conference will 
feature hundreds of new ideas on ICT development, lessons leant from 
other regions of the world, many industry’s top minds, discussions on 
policy, investment, regional projects and research and development. The 
conference is a venue for agencies working on different projects in 
different parts of the continent to meet, exchange ideas and form 
synergies.

With technical tutorials, demonstrations, news in the making and the 
opportunity to talk to experts, this event will be an experience for all 
attendees. Whether attendees are entrepreneurs, university professors, 
scientists or engineers, exhibitors or members of the press, the 
conference program will be tailored to their information needs and 
interest.

*Programming*
ICT Africa will consist of a plenary session, conference tracks, 
technical tutorials and an exhibition.

_Plenary session_
ICT Africa 2007 will consist of a plenary session to be addressed by 
ministers (or their representatives) from all regions of Africa. The 
plenary session is expected to address infrastructure projects 
throughout Africa including The East Africa Marine System (TEAMS) and 
the East Africa Submarine System (EASSy). The Kenyan ministry of 
information and communications will host the plenary session.

_Conference tracks_
The rest of the conference will be divided into two main tracks, a 
technical/academic track and a policy/business track. The 
technical/academic track will feature presentations from peer reviewed 
papers by scientists, engineers, professors and students from Africa and 
abroad. The policy/business track addresses policy and business 
challenges of ICT development in Africa. Topics will include, but not 
limited to; deregulation, monopoly, and ICT investment.

_Technical tutorials_
One day will be dedicated to technical tutorials. NEPAD Council experts 
and other experts from different parts of the world will deliver short 
courses in next generation networks, fibre optics, and voice over 
Internet protocol and other topics of interest to attendees.

_Exhibition_
The 2007 event will consist of an Industry exhibition running parallel 
to the conference. The exhibition is organized by Togo consultants.

*Venue:*
As with ICT Africa 2006, ICT Africa 2007 will be held at the Kenyatta 
International Conference Center in Nairobi, Kenya. The central position 
of Kenya in Africa, the easy of flight connections from different parts 
of the world to Kenya, the commitment of the Kenyan ministry of 
information and communication to ICT development and to ICT Africa and 
the commitment of NEPAD Kenya to ICT Africa are some of the 
considerations for the choice of Kenya as a venue.
