Poptech Day 1

Posted by Ory Okolloh in Poptech

After a marathon day of traveling, I finally made it to Camden Maine. Small (cute!) little town. Will try and have some pictures up at some point. Had dinner with a couple of interesting folks last night including Zivanai Masango a musician from Zimbabwe who is now based in New York, David Gweyu, a former deputy Minister of Information and Technology in Ghana, and Suketu Mehta author of Maximum City (for those talented writers on KBW, si you unleash something similar on Nairobi? It’s time to start getting paid and telling our story in our voices).

The conference starts with a presentation by Graham Flint of Gigapixl (kinda like a Google Earth type project, check out the website, the image quality/sharpness is amazing), displaying his extremely high-resolution photographs, and Bob Hanner, telling us about the DNA Barcoding project.

You can listen to the audio stream here.

Will try and have regular updates.
