Each year, a distinguished International Programme Committee (IPC) of thematic experts undertakes a double blind peer review process for the IST-Africa Conference.
IPC Members provide actionable feedback to help authors improve the quality and potential impact of papers and presentations. They also chair sessions in their areas of expertise to moderate discussion, and maximise knowledge sharing and audience engagement.
