Having recently completed the 7th Annual Digital Africa Summit which was an enormous success for all involved. We are pleased to announce the 8th annual Digital Africa Summit 2010 will take an in depth look at Digital convergence and innovation from an African perspective.
The 8th Annual Digital Africa Summit will again take place at the prestigious Munyonyo Commonwealth Resort (www.munyonyocommonwealth.com) on the shores of Lake Victoria in Kampala, Uganda between the 9-11 March 2010, please mark these dates in your diary.
We have carefully selected a location that provides accessibility from all parts of Africa and one that reflects the efforts of a government that has demonstrated an enthusiasm for embracing the full potential of ICT as a key driver for social and economic development.
"Digital Convergence & Innovation Driving Positive Change"
In the digital era, access to information and the sharing of knowledge have created a new global currency that is transforming the fundamental economic, educational and social constructs of society, creating unprecedented opportunities for positive change.
Africa’s ICT sector is the fastest growing globally with mobile and broadband penetration rates set to continue to rise with lower cost high speed broadband now a reality companies must prepare and build solid foundations allowing them to take advantage of the opportunities, that this exciting industry and continent has to offer.
The region’s need to capitalize on convergent services and
innovations is evident with IPTV, Triple Play and VoIP offerings growing, lower
cost of access has created an increasing demand from the customer base. Service
providers are locked in a battle to increase ARPU and boost customer loyalty,
while maintaining lean and efficient operations. The demand on their networks
and ability to deliver value to their customers is constantly growing.
Thus, the challenges to win in this new and dynamic environment are enormous making focus, speed, cooperation and ongoing innovation imperative to its many members.
The Digital Africa Summit aims to assist African operators by providing information that will aid them in developing a focused, practical strategy moving forward. This will be achieved by orchestrating a debate between:
- Leading regulatory authorities from Africa and the World
- Operators from Africa and the World
- Governments from Africa
- Industry Associations
- Financial Institutions and Investors
- Solution providers
- System integrators
We expect participating executives to leave this debate with greater clarity and understanding about the challenges they will face in developing their networks increasing connectivity efficiency and driving positive social and economical growth.
