Btrust Partners with Africa Bitcoin Conference to Host Developer Day in Nairobi

Btrust, a non-profit organization focused on decentralizing the development of Bitcoin software, is partnering with the Africa Bitcoin Conference 2024 to present the ‘Btrust Developer Day’.

The Btrust Developer Day will take place on December 8, 2024, at the JW Marriott Hotel, Nairobi, Kenya. The event aims to offer an exclusive platform for African developers and subject matter experts to explore the immense potential of Bitcoin technology and its applications. The day-long conference is designed to inspire developers, provide information and access to the latest technical advancements, and highlight the opportunities within the African Bitcoin ecosystem.

As the African Bitcoin landscape rapidly evolves, empowering the next generation of developers is critical for driving innovation and shaping the future of Bitcoin on the continent. Building on the success of the 2023 Developer Track, Btrust reaffirms its commitment to promoting Bitcoin-driven innovation through the continued implementation of the Developer Day.

Participants will have a unique opportunity to learn from industry leaders, connect with like-minded professionals, and gain practical insights into Bitcoin’s open-source development ecosystem and effectively leveraging Bitcoin technology. The event will feature experienced Bitcoin developers and educators who will share their expertise through a blend of talks, hands-on workshops, showcases, and round-table discussions.

The Africa Bitcoin Conference (ABC) has been recognized as a premier gathering of top thought-leaders, professionals, entrepreneurs, developers, and pioneers in the African Bitcoin industry, creating an ecosystem for all to learn and network. Through ABC, Bitcoiners on the continent meet and collaborate with the broader Bitcoin ecosystem, further sharpening their knowledge and skills, and building solutions that prioritize the local African context. The Btrust Developer Day will be an integral part and key opening of the annual continental conference, proposing activities and opportunities for developers to engage and learn more about Bitcoin open-source development.
