We had quite an eclectic programme on Day 3 ! We’ve been exploring the strategic use of digital, the future of Africa-China relations, how to shape global conversations with African content & effective remote work strategies for teams! Check out the highlights below.

“In times of crisis, we become very aware of the importance of transparency, timing, facts. But this is something we should be doing all the time.” Eloine Barry, CEO, Africa, Media Agency
