Zambian Twitter goes to TweepFest 2016 tomorrow
What’s the power of a tweet? In Zambia it has helped bring down #LintonLies, and has shared people’s thoughts on how Zambia should be run if you follow #ZambiaDecides.
Now, there’s another way folks are making use of the Twitter platform by creating TweepFest, a not-virtual-at-all gathering of some of the most influencial/outspoken Twitter peeps on the Zambian scene. The TweepFest is happening tomorrow 29th October from 12:00hrs at 29 Ngumbo Road in Longacres, Lusaka, and you may get to see your favorite/worst tweep in the flesh.
I swear I’m recognizable without the filters and angles #TweepFestZM2016

The agenda behind creating TweepFest is not just to see who subbed you but has been made to encourage:
- Brand awareness if you have a startup or established business
- positive interactions (no subs, RTs and twars there)
- team building with other like-minded Zambians, and
- networking with people you may or may not know on or off Twitter.
Just a thought: If you guys can get more than 50 people to believe in your ideal, that already shows influence. #TweepFestZM2016
