Botswana Mobile and Internet annual summit will take place at University of Botswana next month. Event Director, Mr Phuthego Chere, said during a media briefing that the event would be held under the theme: �Knowledge and skills in the New Economy� and it seeks to position the country as a technology hub in Africa with a long-term objective to up-skill the nation and export talent to the rest of the world. �The event provides the tech eco-system with a platform to come together to drive change to avoid the adopted practice of tackling technology issues in silos,� he said. Mr Chere said the summit would create a platform for IT personnel to exchange ideas and share experience while coming up with solutions to various problems in the digital sector. The summit is a unique opportunity for attendees to learn from experts in cyber security, artificial intelligence, big data and machine learning, he said. He said the summit came about after a realisation of gaps in cyber security that include lack of a developer community, and poor quality education on Information Technology hence the need for a platform to share ideas, skills and strategies. The event will feature sessions on Cyber Security Summit, Cyber Security Masterclass, Botswana Developers Conference and an Artificial Intelligence Conference.
