02
Focused breakout conversations
Small rooms, hard questionsThe right people, in the same room, around one question.
TechCon includes focused conversations around specific challenges and opportunities. Each room brings together the people who can actually move the issue: employers, institutions, talent, investors and ecosystem organisations, not an audience listening to a panel.

Ecosystem Assembly
Synthesis, not another panelFrom many conversations to shared priorities.
After the focused conversations, participants come back together. The Ecosystem Assembly brings insights from the different rooms into one place and identifies the themes, opportunities and priorities emerging across the ecosystem.
It is a synthesis and a collective conversation, the moment where separate discussions become a shared picture.
04
Commitments
From conversation to commitmentFrom conversation to commitment.
TechCon creates an opportunity for organisations and individuals to indicate, publicly, how they want to contribute to the priorities emerging from the event. Commitments are designed to be carried into working groups, and progress will be reported before the next TechCon.

A new chapter for TechCon
From community conference to platformA NEW CHAPTER FOR TECHCON ANAMBRA
TechCon Anambra began as a technology community conference organised by the Anambra Techies Community.
The next chapter expands that foundation.
TechCon Anambra is being reimagined as an annual platform for Anambra’s digital economy, bringing together the businesses, institutions, technology companies, talent, universities, investors and ecosystem organisations shaping what comes next.
The goal is not simply to host another conference. It is to create a place where Anambra’s digital economy comes together to understand, connect, build and move forward.
TECHCON ANAMBRA 2023The first major TechCon Anambra gathering brought together members of Anambra’s technology community around the theme “The Next Wave.”
