 These crucial points will underpin the themes of 10th ICT4D Conference: Innovate. Connect. Transform.  Attendees at the leading ICT4D conference will gather as the ICT4D community and debate solutions and answers to questions such as how and where ICT innovation helps sectors in aid and development achieve goals and accelerate their objectives.
