Harmony x Ghana Unity DAO: Web3 Accra

Culture, Community & Scalability for Web3 in Africa** Full Panel Summary (1h05m)

Summary

This 65-minute panel explores how Web3, blockchain, and decentralised technologies can be adopted in Ghana and across Africa — with emphasis on education, policy alignment, community building, youth empowerment, culture, and scalable real-world use cases.

The moderator frames the session as a deliberate effort to replace Western one-sided technology imposition with African-driven insight, innovation, and lived experience.

Key Moments

  • 04:30–18:00 — Understanding Web3 in Ghana
  • General consensus: Local understanding is low but growing, with pockets of deep expertise.
  • Ken: Awareness is limited; curiosity is growing; education spreads peer-to-peer.
  • Jake (Presidency): Even well-educated youth often don’t fully understand Web3.
    Governments are slow adopters by design — safety and regulation must come first.
  • Fatima (Gambia; fintech): Youth understand Web3 more than industry leaders.
    The definition itself is unclear globally — causing confusion.
  • Kwame (Futurist/Investor):
    Ghana has active Web3 pockets:
  • Binance Ghana community (~8000 people)
  • Strong informal P2P trading economy
  • Core OG crypto community
    BUT: True understanding of decentralisation, digital ownership, and new economic systems remains low.
  • Alhassan: Adoption will grow through consistent grassroots education, especially in tertiary institutions.

Talent FAQ's

Speaker fees can vary depending on factors such as expertise, demand, and event specifics. While some speakers may charge a flat fee for their services, others may have hourly rates. It’s best to discuss fee structures directly with the speaker or their representative to understand the pricing model.

Keynote speeches typically range from 30 to 90 minutes, with the duration determined by the speaker’s expertise, the event’s agenda, and audience preferences. Keynote speeches often include a combination of inspirational stories, practical insights, and actionable advice tailored to the event’s theme or objectives.

The scale of the event and audience size can indeed impact a speaker’s fee. Larger events with a broader reach or higher attendance may command higher fees due to increased exposure and demand. Conversely, smaller events or niche audiences may offer opportunities for more flexible pricing arrangements.

Travel expenses such as transportation, accommodation, and meals are typically negotiated separately from the speaker’s fee. These costs vary depending on the speaker’s location, travel distance, and event duration. It’s important to clarify travel arrangements and expenses during the booking process to avoid misunderstandings.

Many speakers require a deposit to secure a booking, with the remaining balance due closer to the event date. Deposits are often non-refundable and serve as a commitment from both parties. It’s advisable to discuss deposit requirements and payment terms with the speaker or their representative when finalizing the booking.

  • Virtual speaking appearances are a cost-effective alternative to high speaking fees, often 10-50% cheaper than in-person rates.
  • There is typically no difference in fee for a 15-minute speech versus a 60-minute speech.
  • Some motivational speakers are open to discounting their fee if hired for more than one event by the same organization.
  • When browsing speakers, consider their location to keep travel costs down.
  • Personal connections to your organization or event location can increase your chances of securing a renowned speaker.
  • Be upfront about your needs and expectations to ensure a successful partnership.
  • Speaker bureaus like Speakers Inc help guide you through the booking process to negotiate the best deal with favorable terms.
