East Africa Com 2012’s conference and exhibition in Nairobi, Kenya came to a close today after 2 days filled by successful networking and learning. The second half of this premier, regional event took place today in the Safari Park Hotel, and it focused on services for customers; new content and apps, entrepreneurship, rural services, m-health, mobile money, mobile marketing & advertising (thanks to the dedicated Mobile Marketing Summit), customer experience management, and more...
The important line up of speakers included senior representatives from Orange Telkom Kenya, Airtel Africa, Universal Music Group, Spinlet (Africa’s Spotify), the CCK (Communications Commission of Kenya), amongst others. These visionaries touched on the most important issues affecting the region, and the audience responded well with many questions and networking opportunities throughout the 2 days. One speaker, Sakyi Opoku, Senior Marketing Manager from MTN Rawanda said ‘’the conference was well organised, the speakers were on point and [he] enjoyed the quality’’.
The East Africa Com event organisers, the Com World Series (an Informa Telecoms and Media team), were extremely pleased with the turn out too, with around 700 attendees through the doors across the 2 days overall. Of course this is especially thanks to the exceptional quality of the senior executives from operators, regulators, content providers, OTT players, and others that spoke. They are the inspiration, and they spark the audience’s imagination and questions and debate – all of which is so valuable to the regional telecoms, media and ICT industries.
So, asante sana to all the East Africa Com 2012 participants, thank you for your time and participation – see you at the next Com events (North Africa Com in Tunisia 15-16 May, Cloud Africa in Johannesburg 23-24 May, West & Central Africa Com in Dakar 13-14 June, VAS Africa in Johannesburg 3-4 July, AfricaCom in Cape Town 13-15 November) – and of course see you at the next East Africa Com – taking place on the 16-17 April 2013 in the Safari Park Hotel, Nairobi, Kenya.
