Face-to-Face in Nairobi
Africa Eats flew 50 people to Nairobi, Kenya
for a 2-day in-person gathering of founders and managers.

Everyone was vaccinated and tested, and everyone
made it to and from the event safely.
Nothing beats face-to-face time, both with an agenda and
serendipitous conversations over meals.
And thus, not unexpectedly, more was accomplished
in two days than in the previous months of Zoom calls.

In-Person vs. Virtual (2021)
Not surprisingly, the in-person gathering was sooooooo much more productive and useful. All the pundits and bloggers who say the office is dead are wrong.
