Igbo in the Digital Age
Making our Language visible, audible and accessible
Millions of people speak Igbo, yet many of the technologies shaping how we communicate, create and do business still struggle to recognize our language.
This November, TokataHQ is creating a space for the people experiencing these gaps to engage with those positioned to help close them.
Who we’re bringing together
The people living with the gap, and the people who can close it
We’re bringing together perspectives from Igbo artists, filmmakers, creators, researchers and community voices, alongside technology leaders responsible for decisions about language support in digital products.
Through a moderated discussion and audience Q&A, we’ll explore the cultural and economic implications of inadequate Igbo support, the opportunities better inclusion could unlock, and what it takes to turn community demand into meaningful product change.
Technology industry decision-makers
Executives and leaders responsible for language inclusion, speech recognition, language prioritization and decisions about which languages are supported in major technology products.
Discussion themes
The Conversation
When technology doesn’t understand us
The experiences of Igbo artists, filmmakers, creators, businesses and everyday users navigating technology that struggles to recognize their language.
The cultural and economic opportunity
What better Igbo language support could unlock for digital content, cultural visibility, accessibility, business growth and the wider digital economy.
From evidence to product inclusion
Bringing Igbo community voices and research into direct dialogue with technology executives who shape product roadmaps and decide which languages their platforms support. Together, we’ll explore what it takes to turn evidence and demand into real product inclusion.
Your questions belong here too. Beyond the panel, we’re creating space for audience questions and perspectives from the people these technologies should serve.
