BarCamp Kumasi #bcksi was a success!

Barcamp Kumasi came off successfully on September 18 at the College of Engineering auditorium at the Kwame Nkrumah University of Science and Technology (KNUST). The theme was Collaboration: the key for opportunity and development. Over 80 people attended, mostly students from KNUST. The program run smoothly and I followed all of it through the many tweets coming from some of the organizing team members and others there. Glad to call the first ever Barcamp in Kumasi a success.

The keynote speaker and moderator for the day's panel was Dr Douglas Adjepong, Founder and President of the Leadership and Mentorship Academy. The other panelists were Mr Stephen Agyepong - Lecturer at Kwame Nkrumah University of Science and Technology (KNUST), Eugene Oduro Birikorang, Acting Regional Manager, Millicom Gh Ltd (Tigo) and Daisy Baffoe - Meltwater Entrepreneurial School Of Technology (MEST). The sponsors were Kwame Nkrumah University of Science and Technology (KNUST), National Society of Black Engineers (KNUST chapter), GhanaThink Foundation, Google, IPMC Ghana, Fienipa Group, Leadership & Mentorship Academy, Mozilla Firefox, Meltwater Entrepreneurial School Of Technology (MEST) etc. The media partners were Kapital 97.1 FM, Focus 94.5 FM and ModernGhana.com.
