The Africa Bitcoin Conference (ABC) is excited to announce the upcoming third edition, set to take place from December 9th to 11th 2024, at the JW Marriott in Nairobi, Kenya.
Known as the ‘Silicon Savannah’ due to its rapidly growing tech scene, Nairobi is the perfect location for ABC. As a hub of innovation and entrepreneurship, the city provides an ideal setting to explore the convergence of technology and finance, and to accelerate the adoption of Bitcoin solutions across the continent. In the spirit of Pan-Africanism, future editions of the conference will rotate across different cities in Africa.
“We are excited to host the third edition of the Africa Bitcoin Conference in Nairobi, Kenya,” said Farida Nabourema, convener of the Africa Bitcoin Conference.
“With Africa emerging as a major player in Bitcoin innovation, this conference offers a unique opportunity to showcase the continent’s potential and forge a path towards a more inclusive and prosperous future.”
ABC24 will be a key platform for thought leaders, innovators, policymakers, human rights activists, Bitcoin enthusiasts, and both African and international developers to gather and discuss the latest trends, breakthroughs, and opportunities in the Bitcoin space across Africa.
