WACREN is pleased to announce that registration for the next WACREN Annual Conference is now open! Next year’s Conference promises to be memorable, symbolic and highly impactful.

This 10th edition holds multiple layers of significance: it brings the conference back to Dakar nearly a decade later, honours the life and enduring legacy of our late pioneering CEO, Dr. Boubakar Barry, and coincides with a transformative milestone for WACREN—the establishment of a hub of our network backbone in Dakar. This development underscores Dakar’s growing prominence as a strategic nexus for regional research and education connectivity. 

This event will be undoubtedly bitter-sweet: bitter as we bid a final farewell to a cherished African REN icon, sweet as we celebrate a decade of fostering collaboration among diverse research and education stakeholders across West and Central Africa, now empowered by an enhanced network infrastructure that will strengthen regional integration and innovation.

Visit our conference website at wacren2025.wacren.net to secure your spot. Early bird registration is highly encouraged to save money, and it ends on January 31, 2025.

You can pay for your registration with Visa, Mastercard and Verve payment cards. We are working on adding more payment options to accommodate diverse needs. Stay tuned for updates!

For any inquiries, please get in touch with us at conf2025@wacren.net 

We look forward to welcoming you to WACREN Conference 2025!
