As always, it was a pleasure and privilege to participate in Africa's premier ICT industry event. Thanks to the Informa team for near flawless execution. The VIP100 club was a welcome introduction this year, using an interactive session with members to discuss key leadership and transformational topics, facilitated by class-leading consultants.

I look forward to the next edition; more thought leadership, more insights, more innovations and more networking.
