"The mobile web has great potential in Africa. Nowhere will this potential be explored more fully than at Mobile Web in Africa 2010. I am excited that Opera will sponsor such an influential event and personally gratified to join the attendees, who are all working to advance the mobile web revolution in Africa."
Jon von Tetzchner, Co-Founder, Opera Software

12 months on from the sell out inaugural conference Africa's "most progressive and innovative mobile event" returns to Johannesburg, South Africa.

The main conference will take place on 29th & 30th September 2010 and two extra conference days have been organised for the 28th September & 1st October. Mobile Web in Africa 2010 will be a hybrid of all the fantastic elements from the previous year combined with a selection of new topics and new contributors. Due to the seating format capacity is again restricted, this time to 200, therefore early registrations are recommended (and are more cost effective).

Key Contributors:

"I came a long way to attend last year and it was worth the effort, Mobile Web Africa is a compressed, enriched package of insight into the impact and opportunities of mobile technology in Africa. The conference uniquely brings a powerful mix of industry, NGO, technology and academic communities together. I am delighted to be able to participate again this year and hope to learn as much as I did last year. I'm really looking forward to not only presenting at the conference but also leading the half day workshop, it is a great chance to reconnect again with the people leading the mobile web and apps development in Africa."
Dr. Marc A. Smith, Chief Social Scientist, Connected Action Consulting Group

Hybrid of all the fantastic elements from the previous year?
Combined with a selection of new topics and new contributors?
That's big talk... so feel free to check out the 2009 feedback if you're worried we don't walk the walk or see below for a more detailed explanantion of why this is the mobile event in Africa in 2010:

1) The topic is again going to be solely focusing on mobile technology and how the continent, organisations and entrepreneurs can take advantage of one of the most important technological advances since the Persians harnessed a pigeon's natural homing instinct 2000+ years ago.

2) Once more the agenda is going to be rammed full of African thought leaders and will be supplemented by an excellent smattering of international speakers.

3) It's going to again be held in a superb 5 star venue, with the focus purely on creating the right environment for attendees to take advantage of.

4) The interactive roundtable seating format, which massively improves attendees' on the day experience and outputs, will still be a key feature.

5) all amber will again be applying its principal of offering subsidised tickets to mobile start-ups and developers to guarantee ecosystem wide representation.
