The Indaba Success Story: Victor Olufemi @OlufemivictorT 💡 Sometimes the best part of the Indaba is seeing where the journey leads after the sessions end. We caught up with Olufemi Victor, who shared some of his personal highlights and what he’s been able to achieve within the community. It’s stories like these that remind us of the quiet impact of connecting with one another. Reminder: In-Person Registration: Still open through the Ticket Lottery (paid) until 30 May 👉 deeplearningindaba.com/2026/… Virtual Indaba: You can register to join the DLI2026 online! 👉 deeplearningindaba.com/2026/… #DLI2026 #Indaba2026
