Multi-city satellite GDF conferences will begin on Friday, May 10th in Los Angeles, California and continue on May 14-15th in Dublin, Ireland and Silicon Valley, California. Hundreds of others have registered to hold grassroots Diasporas@ “unconference” to inspire and connect a generation of young diasporans.
