The event is part of the GSMA series events held around the world. The main purpose of the event is to identify pressing issues that form the mobile industry, on the local and global scale.
GSMA said in a statement a few days ago that the 2019 Mobile 360 Series West Africa conference mainly focuses on the role of internet users and what future’s citizens want as active users, as well as the continuing of growing investment in the sector.
Furthermore, the event will also highlight the initiative as well as activities taken by the GSMA Mobile for Development program.
According to the CEO of GSMA, John Hoffman, the event will provide a great opportunity for attendees to share their knowledge and experiences in term of the impact of mobile technologies across the region.

There will be various topic discussions, including what impact digital will have on the job market, content creation, commercial trends, as well as what the key stepping-stones for creating an inclusive and secure digital society are.
