The theme for the year was "Connecting ideas" and we did our best to draw creatives from West & South Africa, the horn of Africa who all all exhibited their amazing skill to the rest of the world. Being online the number of guest trippled our usual physical events by far. The event gained recognition across sub Saharan Africa and is still readily available on demand to date.
