What to Expect in 2023
Nerd|Otaku are thankful that Liquid Telecom Zambia are sponsoring the organization of the Nerd|Otaku Zambia Jamsite for 2023. This year the GGJ will be a hybrid event once more.

All communication will be done through our NOG Discord server. If you have not connected to our server yet, please do that now.
