The 4th Industrial Revolution is underway. Powered by AI technolo-gies, businesses are transforming the way they operate and the way
they serve their customers. But what is the real opportunity for your business? Where can you implement tech to maximise the benefits and how do you need to adapt to take advantage? These are ques-
tions being addressed at the cutting-edge of business transformation in Africa.
With the launch of the AI Summit, the world’s leading AI event series, at AfricaCom, the continent’s de facto tech festival, there is now no better place to equip yourself for the wave of innovation enabled
by AI. Engaging with leading global multinationals as well as regional powerhouses, the AI Summit at AfricaCom will look to uncover the true opportunity AI presents for the most forward thinking enter-prises, tackling the challenges around people-change management,
up-skilling the workforce, creating deeper relationships with custom-ers and partners as well as understanding the business case.
With 1000+ CXOs in attendance, engage with the people who matter and put yourself ahead of the
curve in Africa.
