Digital Sense Africa 2010 holds in April
Digital Sense Forum is an annual event where strategies and policies for the internet are being discussed before the continental meeting. The event was held last October but was scheduled to hold in April this year. Earlier than expected, the organizers said the reason for holding the event in April is burn out of the need to sell Nigerian stand on Internet policy to other neighbouring African countries. The timing also has much to do with the date of this year IGF (Internet Governance Forum) meeting which will be held earlier than last year’s September 14 and 17, 2010.
This year’s theme is ‘Five Years of IGF, the Way Forward for Nigeria.’ And schedule to hold at same venue where the last one was held; Golden Gate restaurant Ikoyi-Lagos. We published the position of DSA meeting last year here and hope to cover the event extensively this year.
A big Move
The Forum also invited one of Nigeria’s top web analysts “Loy Okezie” as part of the speakers to discuss the “Viable Online Startups in Nigeria and challenges”. This I believe is a big boost to the Nigerian web community. The recent Technology Outlook 2010 also has about 8 top web innovator participated in the event. These events were exclusively focused on older generation of Nigerian technologist but these days, the impact and input of young minds in the industry are being appreciated.
As the Internet Market witness a boost, the forming synergy of the stakeholders in the industry (both older and young generation) is a step in the right direction toward harnessing the potential of Nigerian Internet Market.

Hello and thank you for all your posts, I have been following your blog for quite some time now and found some very useful information.
I am interested in attending all the above events, could you please confirm at what time the digital sense forum starts on Friday?
I would also welcome a meeting with you. I have launched a business rating site called Exxset, by invitation only. I would like to extend you an IV (need an email contact for that), and welcome any feedback or comments.
Thank you!
Warm regards
9am, I will be on ground!
