On this episode, we interview speakers from this years Developer Conference Zambia.

DevConZM is an annual platform elected by Agora Code Community and  collective members of the technology community in Zambia. It is  specifically crafted with Software Developers and Tech Enthusiasts in  mind. Its aim is first of all, to raise the quality of the craft,  secondly, to raise awareness of the industry which is still in its  infancy in Zambia. We believe that providing a platform for developers  to level up is key to a progressive approach to building products and  communities.

DevConZM brings exposure that will prove useful to  innovation in various industrial sectors leading to direct economic  value addition. Apart from the technical opportunities available, Devcon  will also give developers access to networking and investment  opportunities which is critical to growth.
