Conferences in Mauritius, Cape Town and Orlando, USA

Conferencing in Mauritius is simply awesome
First I would like to remind you about the eLearning Africa 2017 conference that will take place from 27-29 September in Mauritius. Registration is open. This is normally a huge conference with about 1000 attending and very well organised. The international exhibition focuses on showcasing the best and also new products and services while the topics on which the speakers focus are carefully selected to be linked to ICT for development, education and training. Conference themes include:
The African context
In search of education for all
New methods and tools for excellence in learning
Overcoming technical problems and ensuring equal access for all
The power of technology: future trends and what they mean for Africa
Focus on skills:education and labour market needs
New partnerships an initiatives for sustainable development.
The conference fee is 690 Euro and for Africans (based in Africa) 420 Euro. But I do think it is worth it. We attended in 2016 and if the standard would be the same, you will gain from attending. 

Second, this is also a reminder about the 6th Future Managers International North South TVET ICT conference in Cape Town that will be held from 31 July to 2 August. If you would be in Cape Town, you are still welcome to register and attend this very innovative and informative conference that will focus on student employability in the digital age. The conference will explore ways in which lecturers can use the landscape of technology and social media as learning environments to empower students. We also attended three of these conferences and would return each year as we really feel we expand our knowledge and are encouraged to explore and implement new and exciting things in higher education. 

And last, but very important for planning purposes, please consider submitting your proposals to the 9th international conference on education, training and informatics: ICETI 2018 that will be held between 13 and 16 March in Orlando, Florida, together with two other conferences: the 9th international multi-conference on complexity, informatics and cybernetics (IMCIC 2018) and the 9th International conference on society and information technologies (ICSIT 2018). Due date is 16 August 2017.
