Over, 1000 creators across Africa were in Abuja, Nigeria’s capital on recently for TMCON 2023 to reshape the narrative of Africa’s Tech and Media Landscape.
TM CON, renowned for its groundbreaking 2022 edition, once again took the spotlight, uniting Visionaries from the Media and Tech Industry in a charged atmosphere pulsating with the energy of innovation and collaboration.
TM CON 2023 was a canvas where creators painted their aspirations and shared their visions for the future. From the first session that unraveled the secrets of building global brands to the riveting closing on mental health—dubbed “Creative Juice, Maintaining the Flow”—TM CON 2023 was a masterclass in the business of creativity and technology.
In the presence of industry titans like Steve Gukas, Eddie Madaki, Dapa Ayo-Adeusi, Bizzle Osikoya, Dr. Foy, Folarin Aluko, Tope Salami, Yemisi Isidi, and Maryam Bukar, the audience was presented with a diverse array of valuable insights. The African Stories session, led by Steve Gukas and Elijah Affi, delved into how technology evolves from a mere tool to a transformative force in the hands of experts.
At the heart of the event was the launch of Digital Native Africa—a platform designed to empower, inspire, and educate the future leaders of Africa’s tech industry. With a mission to unlock the potential of African youth, Digital Native Africa aims to unleash their innovation and skills, ensuring they are well-prepared for the demands of the modern workforce.
The platform offers features such as Courses, Certificates, and Skill Badges, along with a Learning Path tailored to one’s chosen career, Talent Matching connecting users with great job opportunities, and many more.
The impact of TM CON 2023 extends far beyond the conference. It has created a ripple effect, stirring the creative community to dream bigger, think bolder, and collaborate more passionately.
As the echoes of TM CON 2023 linger, one thing is certain: the creative landscape has been reshaped, and the reverberations will be felt for years to come.
