CyberXchange Conference is designed to shine a spotlight on new and emerging technologies that are transforming the ways that we do business in West Africa.
Sothes, organizers of CyberXchange 2016 Conference, are organizing the largest cybersecurity hackathon competition to ever hit Africa. The hackathon is being hosted in partnership with Facebook who have set foot in Africa and are making even larger strides towards the global epidemic of cybersecurity.
The goal of the Hackathon during this conference is to bring the brightest university students and young professionals to come with amazing ideas and creativity.
Facebook Hackathons are a longstanding tradition at Facebook where our engineers work over many hours to create a working product or prototype from scratch. The cybersecurity hackathon at CyberXchange 2016 will uphold the same rigors.

We'll supply the food, fun diversions, prizes, and some expert guidance from of our engineers.
