The event is open to everyone in the UK-Africa Tech Ecosystem, including founders, operators, media, investors, and creators.

The lineup of speakers includes founders, operators, and investors, with topics deliberately curated to be relevant to everyone in the room - be it founders, talents, creators, the media, or investors.

The event will also feature an exclusive UK screening of the documentary "Innovating Africa - Rise of Tech in Nigeria", a documentary produced by Founders Connect, showcasing the grit and resilience of Nigerian tech entrepreneurs in Nigeria over the last 15 years.

Tickets for Founders Connect Live in London are now available at www.foundersconnect.xyz/london. Don't miss this opportunity to engage with the black tech community in the UK.

The event promises to be more than just a tech conference or networking event, offering engaging learning sessions, networking opportunities, food, games, and more.

Participants will enjoy bite-sized engaging keynotes deliberately curated to be relevant to everyone in the room - whether you are a founder, operator (talent), investor, or creator.

But it is not all about listening to people talk, everyone will have ample time to network and connect with each other, alongside food, drinks, and games (including foosball, PS5, table tennis, and more).

Headlined by Wakanow, the event is also supported by sponsors including Ohentpay, Leatherback, Paga, and Talking Drum Communications, and media partners such as TechNext, TechCabal, and Bendada.com.
