ABOUT THE ORGANISERS:
Jamfest is a media and journalism festival hosted by the Jamlab, a project by the Wits Centre for Journalism. The festival is directed at a diverse set of African media makers, journalists, and stakeholders. It presents an opportunity for media makers and practitioners to gain an overview of some of the innovations and changes occurring within newsrooms across Africa. Jamfest also allows industry leaders to connect and network with one another.
CTIF is hosted by the Civic Tech Innovation Network at the Wits School of Governance. The annual conferences are intended to enable the civic tech community and ecosystem actors to engage face-to-face, learn about innovations, tools, and techniques, share experiences, and meet potential collaborators.
