Last month, we wrote extensively about the fate of many Nigerian developers looking to expand their network and knowledge by attending conferences, typically situated outside the county. Developer Christian “Codebeast” Nwamba sorry experience was the case-in-point.
A month after, Codebeast announces Concatenate, a two-day international developer conference with 23 speakers around the world.
The event is being organised in partnership with Microsoft Senior Developer, Sarah Drasner and Cloud Developer Advocate, Brian Holt, with support from many others.

Speaking to a relocated Android developer, Segun Famisa on how having a developer conference in his home country makes him feel, he says:
It sure makes me excited, both the opportunity to bring quality educational content to the reach of developers, and also as a form of validation, that indeed, Nigerian IT scene is getting stronger by the day
This is such a good time to be a Nigerian developer and we look forward to more events like this.
