Tech & Society Week - Day 2 & 3
Digital tech touches every part of our lives: how we work, learn, create, and connect.
But it also brings risks: misinformation, online harassment, privacy breaches, and changing rules for how we interact online.
CcHUB’s Tech & Society Week is a 3-day conference exploring these challenges and building solutions together.
Following the annual Forum on Internet Freedom in Africa, this event brings together diverse stakeholders to tackle real-world digital challenges, from cybersecurity to online safety, AI ethics, and civic engagement.
Why attend?
Tech & Society Week is where digital innovation intersects with governance and civic life in Namibia. This event is for anyone who cares about shaping a safe, fair, and inclusive online space, whether you’re an artist, teacher, entrepreneur, activist, or policymaker.
