These developers turned founders will have 3 minutes each to present their apps. Presentations are to include PowerPoint and embedded video only. Unfortunately, they cannot present a live view of the app in operation as there are often technical difficulties involved in projecting this for the audience on the presentation screens.
So make it a date at Mobile Web West Africa – Day 2 on May 9 at the Four Point hotel.
