5. Event Changes, Cancellation, or Rescheduling

TechBuilders Africa may change event dates, venues, speakers, agenda items, session formats, program structure, or event details where necessary.

We may also cancel, postpone, or reschedule events due to operational reasons, safety concerns, venue issues, speaker availability, technical challenges, low registration, force majeure events, or circumstances beyond our control.

Where practical, we will communicate major changes through email, website updates, WhatsApp, or other official communication channels.
