The said companies and or individuals will be recognised as DigiCon Masters. The process of selecting DigiCon Master involves a call for submissions which closes on 28th April, 2017. Submissions will be reviewed by a panel that will make the decision on whether the work submitted is up to their required standard.
We are thrilled about the second cycle of DigiCon Mini scheduled to start in July, 2017. We aim to train up to 15,000 Ugandans in digital skills. The second cycle has been designed to create an even greater impact than the first. Through strategic collaborations and digital career boot camps we expect to open up opportunities for DigiCon Mini students to intern, create better, all inclusive marketing strategies at their work place and or take their businesses to the next level. We shall put specific focus on university students pursuing courses in areas of business, entrepreneurship, marketing, communications and Information Technology, vocational institutions, High Schools , entrepreneurs and journalists. We encourage members of the public to come to the DigiCon 17 Conference to learn, share knowledge and get guidance regarding the DigiCon Mini courses.
