Africa’s digital story has moved on. This is no longer a conversation of adoption, rather an execution, scale, and value converastion.

This forum brings together CIOs, business leaders, policymakers, and technology partners to unpack what is actually working across Africa’s enterprises, and what is not.

Built on real project data, not opinion; this event turns the Megatrends Report into a live, practical conversation.
