Key visionaries shared their experiences at Nigeria Com on Day 1 
 
The 3rd Annual Nigeria Com conference and exhibition opened today in Lagos, Nigeria. Leaders from the country’s major operators, service providers, OTT players, vendors and more gathered to discuss the opportunities in Africa’s largest communications market. 

     
Innovation, new revenues streams, smartphone developments and the role of OTT players were among the topics discussed in the opening keynote – with speakers from Etisalat, Visafone, Google, MTN, Anabel Group among others. 

From the debates, Nigeria’s environment can be described as quite challenging but full of opportunities, including: local content and apps, mobile financial services and mobile advertising. Opening keynote speaker Abdoulaye Sarre, CEO of headline sponsor PCCI, said: “Operators in the changing structural, operational and technical environment are looking for ways and means to maintain their revenue per user”. As PCCI is planning to launch its operation in the country in 2013, Nigeria Com is a good opportunity to establish the company as a key player in the CRM, BPO and added value services market. 

Alongside the conference, the exhibition area is buzzing with activity: visitors checking stands, delegates engaging in Speed Networking, VIPs relaxing in their dedicated lounge, speakers being interviewed for local TV programmes and people having impromptu business meetings. 

 
“Our objective with Nigeria Com is to engage all stakeholders in the market to meet and discuss how to make the most of new market trends and opportunities; we are pleased with the level and diversity of attendance this year” says Julie Rey, Research Director at organisers Informa Telecoms & Media. 

Nigeria Com continues this afternoon with sessions dedicated to the enterprise segment and mobile marketing & advertising, followed by a networking drinks reception. Tomorrow, the focus of the programme will be service innovation, with sessions on content & apps, customer value management and mobile payments.
