The best moment of any room is not when the speaker talks. It is when the community does.
This is what the CEF Community Meetup Series is designed for. Not an audience sitting and absorbing. But a community leaning in, asking the questions that matter and driving the conversation toward something real.
Every voice in that room represented someone trying to figure something out how to build, how to grow, how to connect what they know with what they want to create.
That is the point of this.
The room does not belong to the speakers.
It belongs to everyone in it.
Thank you to every single person who showed up, spoke up and made Friday what it was.
Where Tech Meets Creative Business
#cef #testafriq #afriventurelab #creative #techcommunity
This is the room that showed up.
Creatives. Developers. Founders. Innovators. Students. Builders.
All in one space, all in one conversation.
The inaugural @thecefghana x @testafriq x AfriVenture Lab Community Meetup Experience was more than an event. It was proof that when the right communities come together around the right conversation, something shifts.
We came to talk about where tech meets creative business. We left with new connections, new perspectives and new pathways.
This is only the beginning.
The CEF 2026 Community Meetup Series continues. More rooms. More communities. More conversations that matter.
Stay connected.

Five people. One table. Zero fluff.
The Expert Panel at the Community Meetup Experience brought together some of the sharpest minds at the intersection of technology, creativity and entrepreneurship in Ghana.
@norttish_ . @selasi.akondor . @archtech_media . @im_ikenna . @jojo_d_appiah
Each one brought a different lens of quality, security, systems, community and execution. Together they created a conversation the room had been waiting to have.
Not theory. Not inspiration content.
Real insight from people who are actively building in this ecosystem.
This is what it means to build with the community, not just for it.

Not every builder looks like a builder.
Some build products.
Some build systems.
Some build people into clarity.
@selasi.akondor exists at all three intersections.
She works across Oracle systems, product management, and business analysis helping organizations turn complexity into structure and usability.
But outside of tech, she builds something less visible but just as important: perspective.
Through Noteworthy Days, she explores how storytelling and lived experience shape how people think, decide and grow. Through her journey From 0 to PM, she documents what it actually means to transition, not just succeed.
At the Community Meetup Experience, a collaboration between @testafriq , @thecefghana and AfriVenture Lab, she represents something critical in the ecosystem:
How systems only work when people understand themselves within them.

Some people choose a lane.
@norttish_ chose the intersection.
A project management professional, Deputy Director at AfriVenture Lab, Adjunct Lecturer at @unimac.ift and host of AfriVenture Tech Fridays & Next Gen on @zedfmgh , his work spans multiple markets and ecosystems shaping systems, teams and ideas across different environments.
At the Community Meetup Experience, a collaboration between TestAfriq, Creative Entrepreneurs Forum and AfriVenture Lab, he steps in as Facilitator not just to guide the conversation, but to shape it into something the community can actually use.
The best facilitators do not just ask questions.
They create the conditions for honest answers.

Every product you use daily has one question behind it.
Can you trust it?
@im_ikenna has built a career answering that question. As a Quality Advocate, ISTQB-certified professional and Founder of @testafriq , a Pan-African software testing community, he sits at a part of the tech ecosystem most people overlook.
Not just how things are built. But whether they actually work. For real users. At scale.
At the Community Meetup Experience, he brings a perspective that challenges how creatives and founders think about the products they are putting into the world.
Quality is not a final step. It is a culture.

Some people build brands.
Some people secure systems.
Few understand how both connect.
Carrington Amuh is one of them.
Working at the intersection of creativity, technology and cybersecurity, he brings a perspective most people overlook how structure, security and strategy shape modern businesses.
At the Community Meetup Experience, expect insights that go beyond surface-level conversations
into how real systems are built, protected and scaled.

Some people build.

You’re learning from someone who understands how things actually work.
