What’s the Mobile Web series of events all about?
Pretty much exactly what it says on the tin.
The South African event is one in a series of conferences that are designed to make a significant contribution to the harnessing of the potential of the mobile internet and applications on mobile devices in Africa.
A hugely successful version of the event has already be held in Nairobi, Kenya in February 2010 and due to its success will be repeated in June 2011. Furthermore, the West African edition is on the horizon for February 2011 – for more information on either visit the respective websites www.mobileeastafrica.com and www.mobilewestafrica.com.
Each event is designed to bring together the major stakeholder groups to connect, listen to the individuals who are leading developments and discuss the future direction of the evolution on roundtables.
The conferences are not your normal type of event, where delegates sit in rows and all the networking is crammed into refreshment breaks. Quite the opposite, in fact - first class customer services, venues of the highest calibre and a dedication to creating an interactive forum all combine to create a superior ‘on-the-day’ experience for the attendees and considerably increased 'take-away' outputs.
Furthermore by offering ticket subsidises to Mobile Start Up Companies, Mobile Developers, and Not-For-Profit Organisations all amber believes that the events can be a factor in the evolution of the mobile ecosystem in Africa.
These subsides allow the whole sector to be represented – so that all the different perspectives and opinions can be incorporated into the discussions and give opportunities to smaller companies and less cash rich organisations to attend.
This is a crucial element of the events' offering – they’re all designed to be inclusive and therefore expansive.
