This is a unique opportunity to learn from and network with the FreeCAD community, and to help shape the direction of the software and its impact globally.

Whether you are a seasoned professional or a beginner, there will be something for everyone at this exciting event. Don't miss out – register now to reserve your spot!"

What is our vision?

This conference is part of a project titled: Open Source CAD (and CAE) for Africa, which is funded through the UK's Royal Academy of Engineering & Engineering X

It seeks to support the delivery of skills and education programmes that will lead to the development of much needed engineering skills capacity, enhanced safety standards, and infrastructure that will remain safe and fit for purpose.
