Opera on Tour in South Africa

Have you ever wanted to meet Opera in person or hear the latest news on the Web from people leading the industry? Well, if you’re in South Africa then we might be coming to a town near you! In August, Opera Software will be visiting Cape Town, Durban, Pretoria and Johannesburg for a university tour and series of community meet-ups.

University Tour

Opera Software will be visiting twelve countries this year on university tours, and South Africa is first up! We will be visiting the following universities, providing seminars on the history and future of the Web, the browser industry, Web standards and mobile Web browsing.

  • University of Western Cape: Monday 18 August, 13:00
  • Cape Peninsula University of Technology: Tuesday 19 August, 9:30

At most universities there will be light snacks and a free gift for those who attend. If you would like to register to attend the seminar at your university, email education@opera.com with your university in the subject line.

The university tours are part of the larger Opera Education outreach program for universities, schools, and other education institutions. Check out the full program at www.opera.com/education.
