Mobile Web East Africa – a huge success and here is how you can find out what was discussed and the outcomes

In the first week of February Mobile Web East Africa was held in Nairobi, well over 110 participants took part from all echelons of the mobile ecosystem, with the ICT4D sector particularly well represented.  Over the course of the two days there was a huge amount discussed and this would be a record breaking blog post if I were to repeat everything.  So rather than going down that route I wanted to direct Kabissa members to the two best sources of information from the event:

1. The official blogger at the event was Bankelele, he’s created a very thorough breakdown of both days of the conference, they can be found on his blog here

2. I would also recommend that you visit Kachwanya’s blog as he wrote an extremely well received post titled “10 Conclusions from Mobile Web East Africa”

Apart from that here are a couple of testimonials that I received from attendees:

“My first experience of an all amber event was very, very positive – great turnout, great interaction and great format. I’ve been to a few conferences and simply put this was the best.” -Brett St. Clair, Country Manager – South Africa, AdMob

"Well done for organising a great conference!" -Steve Vosloo, Fellow, 21st Century Learning, Shuttleworth Foundation

If you couldn’t make it to the event, I hope that you can at some point in the future as it is clear that not only is mobile the technology of choice, but the mobile web offers a huge range of potential to the continent.

Thanks.
