Data science and health in Africa - Virtual Networking Exchange
Chris Fourie
Dear All,
You are invited to a Virtual Networking Exchange on 3 May 2023 to meet and interact with organizations working on data science and health in Africa! During this completely online event, you will learn about exciting work happening across the continent, share information about your work, and identify potential collaborators. The Networking Exchange is completely free and open to any organization working on data science and/or health in Africa.
How it works
The
Virtual Networking Exchange is an informal networking event that will
take place in Zoom through several rounds of breakout rooms. For one
week prior to the event, participants
can learn about different organizations through an interactive website.
On the day of the event, participants will join a Zoom session to
receive instructions about the event. They will then choose a breakout
room to visit. In each breakout room, they will
hear a short presentation from a featured organization and can ask
questions to the presenter. Participants are welcome to move around to
different Zoom rooms to learn about several organizations. After an
allotted time period, the breakout rooms will close
and participants will then join a new round of networking with
different organizations.
How to participate
To participate, you may register as a participant or as a presenter.
- Participants may join the event and move around between different Zoom rooms to learn about different data science and health organizations.
- Presenters may
represent their organization on the agenda for the event. They will have
a Zoom breakout room for an allotted time during which they can share
information about their organization and interact
with participants.
Note: The deadline to register as a presenter is 14 April 2023. There are a limited number of presenter slots available so please register as soon as possible.
