TonyTalks Holding it down
We had TonyTalks, the renowned Master of Ceremonies as our compère, and he kept the audience alert, lively and happy with ice-breakers, jokes and game varieties at appropriate intervals.
It was 5 hours of unparalleled excellence starting from the opening remarks delivered by Austin Jacobite (The Telos4Africa Brand Manager), to the keynote delivery of the Telos Whitepaper by Douglas Horn (Telos Launch Team) who remotely was present and spoke through zoom calls.

He spoke about the Telos scalability and reasons to why developers needs to come onboard to the Telos blockchain. He further spoke about the Telos ecosystem and the Telos working proposal system which name has Transitioned to "Telos works''. He later spoke about the need for speed and transfer of values, but before going offline, he gave us a quick remake about the use cases of Telos and to how values can be transferred in approximately 0.7 seconds.

Panelist Section
The discussion was capped off by the extremely engaging and insightful panel session which was moderated by David Ben, the Telos4Africa Project Manager. The session was centered on what it means to be successful on the blockchain and how much impact the blockchain can have on the life of the average African youth. With the likes of Joshua Segun (Blockchain Developer at Sterling Bank), Lucky Nwanekwu (Community Lead, Business Day Media), Agbona Igwemoh (African Ambassador, Beam Network) and Samuel Joseph (EosNation Ambassador), the discussion was honest, straightforward and down to earth, with each panellist sharing his unique views and perspectives in the simplest of terms.
