Never before have so many film, broadcast and music gurus gathered in the same place in Africa. The Kenyatta International Conference Centre (named after the father of Kenya's new President) will be the venue for two days of intensive discussion, debate and learning in conference sessions, panel discussions and training workshops. Programme Director and Chairman of AITEC Africa Sean Moroney called on digital media professionals from throughout Africa to converge on Nairobi over 26-27 June in order to benefit from the great educational, networking and business opportunities available at the event. "We have been overwhelmed by the expertise that has been offered for the conference programme, with experts flying in from all four corners of the world, including Australia, UK, USA, Ghana, Nigeria, France and India, to join East Africa's industry leaders for a unique knowledge-sharing fest. Don't let the price of an air ticket stand in the way of the great educational and business opportunity this top industry event is offering you."
