KENET has included an ICT directors’ forum as one of the pre-conference activities on November 22, 2011 in order to take advantage of the pool of experts in different areas of university ICT operations and management. Apart from the international experts, KENET invites proposals from ICT directors in different theme areas of ICT leadership, ICT financing and budgeting, deployment of new web-based services, University ERPs, and security of networks among others.

KENET shall pay for one day accommodation to allow heads of ICT to attend the Forum as well travel for those outside the 40 Km radius of Nairobi . A cocktail has been included to increase networking among ICT directors. Those who want to attend the conference will need to pay a separate registration fee ($150) that covers all day meals (see www.ubuntunet.net for details). The conference includes exhibition by the private sector ICT companies and any three universities that commit to sponsor the conference (see www.kenet.or.ke).
