The 2015 theme for Social Media Week Lagos 2015 has been announced!
Informed by the global theme, SMW Lagos will explore locally the theme “Upwardly Mobile: The Rise of A Connected Africa.” Africa is the fastest growing mobile technology market and the largest mobile market after Asia. The SMW Lagos 2015 theme sets the stage for thought provoking and insightful discussions on the impact of mobile across Africa and what a connected continent of 1 Billion people means for the global economy and the world at large.
As of today, October 8, submissions for #SMW15 are OPEN! We are beyond pumped to see the awesome event ideas you all are no doubt brainstorming.
There are so many awesome things happening the coming months that the #SMWLagos team is bursting with excitement!
WHAT’S NEW?
SMW Lagos 2015 will be held at Landmark Centre, a newly built 2,300 sq. meters (24,000 sq. ft), state of the art event space in Lagos, Nigeria. The Landmark Centre is located on the grounds of Landmark Village, a spectacular beach front location extending over 9.4 acres in Victoria Island, the heart of the vibrant and lively Lagos business district and metropolis. The capacity and capabilities of Landmark Centre will enable SMW Lagos to host more than 25,000 people over the course of 5 days as well as enhance the conference’s program offerings to include digital installations, co-working spaces, executive meeting rooms, exhibitions and a pop-up marketplace. The format of the week-long conference will be a mixture of keynotes, panels, workshops, and networking events/mixers that explore a wide range of topics including business, entertainment, education, technology and politics. As always, SMW Lagos is free and open to the public.
