Digital media executives will gather to debate the hottest digital issues facing publishers on the continent and abroad. “Innovation has no boundaries and our members and colleagues in Africa are a true testament to that with their inspiring mobile initiatives,” says Vincent Peyrègne, CEO of WAN-IFRA. “There is so much to be learned from their example and to share with the rest of the world. It’s an incredibly exciting time there for publishing and I am certain that same excitement will be on display at DM Africa.”

This year’s event is built around four main themes:

  • Reader revenue
  • Distributed content
  • Metrics and KPIs
  • Millennials and Generation Z

African publishers including Caxton, Media24, Nation Media Group, Ringier, Independent, Times Media Group, DailyNews and the African Media Leaders Forum support the event. For more information, click here.
