It is perhaps time for ICT guys here on Kictanet, Min. of Information, iHub, TESPOK, CCK, AITEC, Safaricom, Google, etc etc to post their upcoming events way ahead of time so that we don't have situations where well meaning organized events go largely unattended owing to a clash in scheduling.<div>

Editors’ Guild are pleased to invite you to participate in a Media Round<br>
Table to be held on 27 September 2011, between 12 and 2pm, at the Alliance<br>

Constitution: Is there coverage beyond politics and personalities? The<br>
panelists will be Charles Nyachae, Chair, Commission for the<br>
Implementation of the Constitution (CIC), Linus Kaikai, Managing Editor,<br>
