Matthew Dawes, the organiser of the event since he founded it in 2011, commented: “What I really enjoy about organising Mobile West Africa, aside from the awesome buzz in the room on the days of the conference, is that it brings together such a wide range of people – from the operators to the VAS companies to the startups. It’s what makes the interaction, networking and outputs such high quality. Attendees are meeting peers who are passionate, knowledgeable decision makers.”
Mobile West Africa 2017 will take place at The Wheatbaker Hotel in Ikoyi on Wednesday 17th & Thursday 18th May. The conference delegation will be made up of 200 key stakeholders coming together to do business and facilitate the acceleration of industry progress.
