Technology · public programme

ICT Summit closes with a hackathon day in Ongwediva.

The 9th National ICT Summit's published programme lists its final day at the Ongwediva Trade Fair Centre, including a hackathon scheduled from 08:00 to 17:00. The programme confirms the event and schedule; it does not establish the outcomes of the sessions or projects. We will add outcome reporting only when an organizer or participant publishes verifiable results.
