  1. The 6th Kenya IGF met on 26 July 2013 at Strathmore University Business School in Nairobi under the theme 'Vision 2030: Harnessing the Power of the Internet' \u2014 the first edition convened by the Internet Society Kenya Chapter after the 2012 handover.<\/strong><\/li>\n
  2. It came months after devolution to 47 counties took effect under the new constitution and Kenya's first digital election. The preceding online debate tackled 'Internet and the Counties' and 'Smart Cities \u2014 What Does the Future Hold', from devolved-era connectivity gaps to the Konza Techno City project.<\/strong><\/li>\n
  3. With Webex remote participation, a livestream and the #kigf13 hashtag, the forum also marked a shift of gravity \u2014 from capital-city hotels to a university campus, and to a younger generation of organisers.<\/strong><\/li>\n<\/ol>\n
