Good news! DCI 5.0 is happening! Our annual event will take place on July 7, just after the National Arts Festival and in the last two weeks of the Soccer World Cup. We join Highway Africa’s decision to change the date, mainly because the World Journalism Educators Congress takes place simultaneously (5-6 July).
It might be a tight schedule but we remain positive – we will make sure this 5th DCI anniversary will be one to never forget!
Please email or Tweet us (@DCIndaba use new hashtag #DCI2010) with suggestions for a theme, speakers and workshops.
The website will be updated as we go along.
Regards,
The DCI Team

The fourth Digital Citizen Indaba (DCI) took again place on the Rhodes Campus in Grahamstown, South Africa, this time from 5 until 6 September 2009. DCI is an annual event that takes place either before or after the Highway Africa Conference (HA) and is seen as a project of HA. DCI has its own participants and speakers, concept and aims, team and sponsors.
Let’s now look at some thoughts and reflections! Please do respond and add to this post by leaving your comments.
