In the build-up to the
forthcoming EthLagos 2020, the Ethereum Meet up, which is billed to hold on Tuesday,
January 28, 2020, at the Venia Business
Hub Lekki, Lagos is SOLD OUT
This is proof that technology is
changing Africa and the world really fast. And concerned workers have already
embraced the fact that work, jobs, and careers as we know them now are changing
drastically.
Skills, jobs, and careers are
fast becoming obsolete at an alarming rate. And one way or the other, everyone
is caught in this trap.
Speaking to newsmen, Uri
Ngozichukwuka, the Communication Director of the event expresses her shock at
the massive sign-up that greeted the Meetup which was planned for no more than
100 participants, but got multiple responses and interest.
“We are surprised at the response
of tech community; BLOCKCHAIN/developers/ software architect/ trainers/ partners
sponsor all eager and ready for the upcoming ETH Lagos and BLOCKCHAIN week”,
she told newsmen.
Uri added that the MeetUp shall
feature tech experts and facilitators who have cut their teeth on digital and
tech world.
Benjamin Onuoha, founder Africa
BLOCKCHAIN Alliance, is one of the key organisers and the main speaker, and he
will be accompanied by other blockchain professionals, who will also be
speaking about the general hackathon rules for ETHLagos, applications and some
introductory concepts on blockchain, ethereum and energy. Other speakers are:
Eseoghene Mentie – ConsenSys,
Guillaume Ballet - Ethereum Foundation, Chimereze Nwosu – GIZ and
A representative from IEEE.
Bukkie Williams, a foremost software
architect who is crafting the youthful generation into a digital army will be
there and Module Oni, a notable advocate for child tech education will also be
on ground with many more top-notch facilitators”
“In line with the changing
digital clime, ETHLagos is a kind of hackathon focused on decentralized energy
solutions. At this Meetup, renown speakers will be discussing blockchain
applications in the energy sector as well as the opportunities for developers
and non-developers for ETHLagos”, Uri added.
Selected participants for The
Meetup will be learning more about Africa's first hackathon on sustainable
development.
The event will also enlighten
students, workers, and tech-compliant operators, about the opportunities that
abound in maximizing the use of the digital Technologies to their career
advantage.
An important part of the ETHLagos
hackathon is that it's not just a hackathon but an educational event with
week-long workshops, training and activities to get participants up to speed on
blockchain and the energy sector. We also plan to incubate and accelerate
winning projects so they can remain sustainable in the long run.
