The conference will feature a high-level delegation of speakers, including Hon. T. A. Mavetera, the minister of ICT Postal and Courier Services, Ambassador A. Aristilde, Canada’s Ambassador to Zimbabwe and Beauty Garaba, WICTZ Chairperson and event convenor.

The program includes four keynote deliveries and insights from ten expert panelists representing organisations such as UN Women, ITU, and various regional tech leaders.

This initiative underscores the Computer Society of Zimbabwe’s commitment to building a more inclusive technological landscape. Supported by partners such as Canada, First Mutual Health, and Dandemutande, the event serves as a catalyst for digital transformation.
