CALL FOR SPONSORSHIP

UbuntuNet-Connect 2018 comes to Zanzibar!

UbuntuNet-Connect 2018 is the 11th UbuntuNet Alliance annual conference in the UbuntuNet - Connect conference series. It is a high - profile event bringing together 150-200 leading 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.

UbuntuNet-Connect 2018 will be preceded by a series of other events including capacity building activities and e-Infrastructure applications workshops. The Conference will be hosted by the Tanzanian Education and Research Network, TERNET, the NREN of Tanzania.

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.
