After the planned conference in 2020 had to be cancelled due to the Corona pandemic, the German African Diaspora NRW Conference, initiated by the Dortmund-based association VKII e.V. (Association of Cameroonian engineers and informaticians), took place for the third time in Dortmund from 3 - 5 September 2021. Due to Corona restrictions, the number of participants this year was limited to a maximum of 150 people, which is why the conference was held as a hybrid event for the first time.
