Ladies, has anyone in here been to AfroTech before? Is it worth it to go for all 4-5 days and was it worth the investment?

I’ve been before. It’s fun from a social aspect but the conference itself was not filled with many sessions that I felt were valuable for those who aren’t tech newbies. The recruiters seemed to be focused on those just entering tech but it was great to expand your network.

When I went I think I was there for about four to five days and paid for it out of pocket. I’d recommend going to the corporate events it’s about 75 percent social events with thought leader events sprinkled in but I found those to be the most valuable activities rather than the conference.

Good to know. I may bump in to some folks from my time in FinTech but I’ll be traveling solo so we’ll see how this goes. 🤞🏾🤞🏾

Is the only way to attend the events for Afrotech is by buying a ticket? Do they actually scan badges at every event?

No, you can attend the social events without attending the conferences but you might have a hard time navigating all the activities that aren't posted publically. Some are invite-only others you have to buy tickets. If you have friends attending or know someone from a company sponsor you can get an invite. There are always unofficial events going on maybe check Eventbrite too.

#stepuptothetable is about helping local restaurants who are struggling during these times. I have seen numerous linkedin posts with videos where people challenge each other to step up to the table & buy meals & gift cards from their community restaurants. A great way for those of us who are more fortunate to support business & keep people employed.
