Scheduled to hold at the Eko Convention Centre in Lagos – Nigeria, from the 18th to 21st of September 2023, the event is billed to be Africa’s first-ever product conference of this magnitude, featuring a host of local and international product and training leaders including Marty Cagan, Christian Idiodi and other partners from the SVPG.
The conference, with registrations currently ongoing would avail participants an opportunity to interact with global product leaders.
Partner, Silicon Valley Product Group, Christian Idiodi, said, “By 2030, Africa is projected to have the largest working population in the world. That’s a lot of people with the potential to work together towards a common goal driven by technological innovation.
“The key for us, is providing them with the skills and capital they need to thrive in the global market and that is what the Inspire Africa Conference seeks to do. “
Representative, Innovate Africa Foundation, Rebecca King, expressed the need for cross-border collaboration in growing the African product community into a stronger force.
