The Grand Bahama Tech Summit & ITU’s Caribbean Workshop on Artificial Intelligence (AI), Internet of Things (IOT), Policies and Regulations, Freeport, 28-30 October, 2019

Because of the “unprecedented” devastation caused by Hurricane Dorian to some islands of the Bahamas, all resources are directed toward provision of supplies, relief and recovery for the people of the Bahamas.

The Bahamas Tech Summit and ITU AI event planned for 28 - 30th October is therefore officially postponed to 2020 to a date still to be announced.

The event in 2020 would be part of the economic rebuilding exercise for the country and from ITU we are confident that you will be interested in contributing and being part of this event.
