Enabling Intra-African Collaboration in Research and Education
2nd – 3rd November 2017, Addis Ababa, Ethiopia
CALL FOR SPONSORSHIP
UbuntuNet-Connect 2017 comes to Addis Ababa, Ethiopia!
UbuntuNet-Connect 2017 is the 10th UbuntuNet Alliance annual conference in the UbuntuNet - Connect conference series. It is a high - profile event bringing together 150-200 leading people, policy makers, infrastructure providers, regulators, network engineers, researchers and academics, not only from eastern and southern Africa but from the research and education community across Africa and beyond.
It will be preceded by a series of other events including capacity building activities and e-Infrastructure applications workshop. The Conference will be hosted by the Ethiopian Education and Research Network, EthERNet, the NREN of Ethiopia.
Showcase your Products and Services!
UbuntuNet-Connect presents a rare opportunity for companies to meet Africa’s research and education networking community and market their products and services. This is especially important to organisations and companies with a national, regional or global footprint.
The sponsorship will give your company the visibility that it needs and also the satisfaction for shareholders and customers of knowing that you are intrinsically involved in creating a bright tomorrow. Your sponsorship will support among other things: the paper presenters, panels, participation and also capacity building activities for young network engineers and NREN staff.
