This event has been postponed. New dates and details will be announced next month.

The true story and impact of the first Amandla Forum will only be understood in the years to come. One thing is clear - a period of rapid change across the region is just getting started. Amandla Forum is sure to showcase more startups, more organizations incorporating digital communications strategies into their work, and more young professionals who are eager to change businesses across the world. I can't wait to be part of it.

Amandla was like a breath of fresh air - a great mix of people in attendance from diverse backgrounds, including media, education, IT, NGO's, the arts, and many others. This made for great interaction and an atmosphere that encouraged a thoughtful and dynamic exchange of ideas.

Amandla Forum was a huge triumph in a region that hasn't seen many such conferences. In the future, we may mark the Forum as the turning point for modern communications in the Middle East.
