Sequel to the success of the maiden edition of the Port Harcourt Tech Expo last year, the organisers have finalised arrangements to hold the 2025 edition in May.
The organiser of the event and Chief Executive of TechNexus, Mr. Belema George, acknowledged that the feedback from the first edition reflected a growing interest in technology, particularly artificial intelligence (AI).
George stated that this year’s edition, themed “Emergence,” will take place from 27 to 28 May in Port Harcourt City, Rivers State, southern Nigeria.
He commended the Niger Delta Development Commission for its support last year, noting, “At last year’s event, we had 6,053 online registrations and another 550 individuals registering on-site.”
He further revealed that physical attendance reached 4,900, while over 300,000 people joined virtually for seminars, workshops, and other sessions.
