In partnership with Google and MTN Africa, this was a 2.5 day immersive experience where our fellows enjoyed: - Inspiring keynotes - Machine learning tutorials - Networking with Google employees - Community building exercises with other women in tech - Professional development training Here's what some of our ladies had to share about the conference!
