He added, “We sincerely apologize for any inconvenience this may have caused to those who registered on time and plead for your patience and understanding. We believe that the adjustment is in the best interest for all. We thank our organizing teams both in Kenya and Namibia for their tireless efforts to make sure that no one interested to attend is left behind.”
According to the organizers, even though the conference dates have been extended from 1-2 June to 29-30 June and new registration window ends on 2 June, the programme remains the same.
