A sneak peek at some of the industry conversations
Education in a connected economy
The innovation process is responsible for many of the most popular products and services we know today, including app-ordered food delivery services, video streaming platforms, two-day shipping features from Amazon, and so much more. However, innovation should not be associated with only these large-scale projects.
The education sector offers countless opportunities for change that can impact students, parents, and educators for years to come. It's safe to say that education is responsible for innovation, and without it, the process will be dysfunctional.
So, a goal of the next frontier discussion will be to uncover the strategies for operating in the connected economy, and how the relationship between IT and education is changing to support new business models based on collaboration and engagement.

The Next frontier in the Music Industry

Local players are not left out as they constantly innovate around production, promotion, and distribution.
The Musictech conference will aim to bridge the existing gaps by exposing music lovers to the intricacies of making music in Nigeria and how technology is shaping the industry.
