Details
Africa’s first and only pure digital infrastructure event, where innovation meets investment, and change is inspired. This event will bring together global leaders in data, cloud, content and carriers to drive digital disruption across the continent.
By bringing together Capacity, Datacloud and Subsea brands from Capacity Media and BroadGroup, we will cover the major pillars of infrastructure that are advancing connectivity across the continent in order to provide a leading forum for thought-leadership, virtual networking and deal making between Africa’s biggest investors and connectivity providers.
