With participation from institutions across Africa – including Ghana, Kenya, Rwanda and Tanzania – and international collaborators from Germany, Italy, and the UK, the conference emphasised the exchange of experiences, methodologies, and the impact of STACK integration. Key discussions centred on the development of a certification framework for novice STACK users, the expansion of [IDEMS’ Open Question Banks](https://ecampus.idems.international/course/index.php?categoryid=58), and strategic planning for the institutionalisation of STACK across African universities. The conference highlighted Africa’s potential to lead in digital assessment innovations and provided a forum for peer review and strategic planning. The event concluded with clear next steps, including plans for broader adoption, integration into Technical and Vocational Education and Training (TVET) institutions, and future conferences, solidifying the foundation for continuous growth and collaboration in digital education across the continent. +The 2nd African STACK Conference for Undergraduate Mathematics, held at the Technical University of Kenya from August 12th to 16th, 2024, built upon the momentum from the [first conference](https://stack-assessment.org/CaseStudies/2023/African_STACK_Conference_2023/), further bridging the gap between experienced mathematics educators and the need for effective formative assessment in African universities through the use of STACK resources.
