Every other year we host the IT Connect conference. The conference brings together IT professionals from across Africa and is open to any agency or church involved in Bible translation. The program is offered in French and English and aimed at providing latest information, training and encouragement.
The main activities in each IT Connect Conference are:
IT Technical and leadership training for IT support staff, focusing on regular information technology concerns, rather than on language software.
Information sharing from the international organizations
Sharing of personal experiences and raising of issues to explore
Feedback to leadership
