BarCamp Ho 2012 is a free networking forum bringing people
together for a day of discussion, demos and dialogue on Ho, Ghana and beyond.
It will take place on September 21, 2012 (Founder’s Day Holiday) at the Ho
Polytechnic. It follows 2011’s event on December 3 where the theme was
“Harnessing local competencies and opportunities for global impact”. The theme
for this year is “Youth taking charge of development”. This Barcamp
hopes to assemble Ho stakeholders to network, build a supportive enterprising
community and partner to build together.
The GhanaThink Foundation has successfully organized 16 BarCamps in Ghana. BarCamp Ho
2012 is being organized in conjunction with Centre for Creative Youth.
The event will be a showcase of how Ghana’s youth are taking charge of its
development and how they can be spurred on to do more. The spotlight will be on
demonstrating how youth-led initiatives can bring change in different facets of
development.
Some of the confirmed speakers
and mentors, based both within and outside the Volta region, are: Francis
Asong (VOICE Ghana), Makafui Nyamadi (GCOM Pre-University), Tsonam Akpeloo
(Techcom Visions), Florence Toffa (Mobile Web Ghana), Anne Amuzu (Nandimobile),

Solutions), Regina Agyare (Soronko Solutions), Alloysius Attah (Farmerline) and

The Barcamp will feature multiple user-generated
breakout sessions about business, social entrepreneurship, technology and
development, alongside topics relevant to the Volta Region and beyond. There
will be a speed mentoring session where mentors will give insights and
answers to questions from attendees. We are also organizing a start-up
bazaar where young entrepreneurs and innovators can showcase their
products and services.
