What is unique about this event ? :  We have joined the Guardian Global Development Site to bring you a unique conference aimed at helping us share and discuss ideas for positive change around the world. With new media revolutionising the African Continent, we thought you would want to come and sit under our palaver Tree and share ideas with us.

If you have attended previous Africa Gathering events you will know that we bring technophiles, thinkers, catalysts, entrepreneurs, innovators and everybody else who loves Africa to talk about positive change in sustainable development, new technology, new media, entrepreneurship, health, education and good governance. We are looking to change narratives in Africa and give voice to the voiceless, highlight people who are making changes, large and small, we want people to see and talk about Africa in a different way.

We're in back in London this June with an exciting  one day event that helps develop business relationships and highlight how new media is changing the African continent.
