This year so far has been about creating connections with local communities and resharing our
knowledge and love for Google products either offline in our conferences or online with Google+. With the
success we've had with our conferences in East
and West
Africa, we are excited to announce that in May we are coming to Dakar for g|Senegal
and Abidjan for g|Cote d’Ivoire!
This year’s g|Senegal will have more hands-on coding sessions for more experienced developers,
more sessions on new Google technology, and more local success stories--perhaps you will be
featured. Join us
for g|Senegal on 9 and
10 May at Place du
Souvenir.
For advanced developers, the Dakar Google Technology User
Group (GTUG) is holding a Google+ Hackathon to help developers build applications on
the Google+ API. If you are interested in joining, please flag your interest when applying for
g|Senegal Developer Day and we will send you more information at a later date.
For our first ever g|Cote d’Ivoire, we are excited to take part of the vibrant energy in this
era of rebuilding. The event will focus on building innovative applications and helping the
fast-growing business community come online. Sign up for g|Cote d'Ivoire on 14 and
15 May.
Remember to register early for these free events because May is just around the corner. Don’t
forget to join the conversation about g|Senegal and g|Cote d’Ivoire on Google+ using the event
hashtags #gsenegal and #gcotedivoire.
