2017 has challenged the bravest of us; this year Fak’ugesi African Digital Innovation Festival salutes Digital Africans that follow their hearts and live bravely.

Join us 6 to the 16 September 2017 in Braamfontein-Johannesburg for a pulsing ten day program celebrating the spirit of INNOVATION, CREATIVITY & TECHNOLOGY.

Immerse yourself in our conference, exhibitions, game arcades, free workshops, performances, brave tech artists, installations, tech demos, pitches, parties and future beats.

Watch out for our FAK’UGESI CONFERENCE – where we engage cutting edge conversations at the intersection of art, technology, music and innovation.

New to 2017 is FAK’UGESI BEATS our music and technology platform curated by We Heart Beat, that will culminate in our festival finale FAK’UGESI Bloc Party.
