The SMW LAGOS team had an awesome time connecting with local start ups and creatives at the Launched In Africa gathering which held in partnership with Ken Saro-Wiwa Innovation Hub and supported by Beat FM PH.
The event kicked off with an interaction session which involved participants to locate different people in their area of specialization in the tech community. For example, you we meet someone to know if he/she is a blogger, has purchased bitcoin, a podcaster, app developer et al.
The relevance of attending the Social Media Week Lagos from February 4th - 8th, 2019 was explained. It was revealed that the Social Media Week Lagos has been running for 7 years so far with D'banj as a regular speaker for the music session, and Channels TV educating the attendees about innovation in the media space.
The Social Media Week Lagos has so many opportunities layed out which will bring the social media community together to learn more about social media, and how they can use it to better their communities.
The theme for next year's social week is: STORIES: WITH GREAT INFLUENCE COMES RESPONSIBILITY.
To be part of the social media week, techies can apply to become an event partner, brand partner et al. Also start ups will get the opportunity to pitch their services.
Participants where given refreshments and had a great time connecting once again.
Participants were given a tour around the Ken Saro-Wiwa Innovation Hub facility, which gave them the opportunity to see the different work spaces for startups and techies. Also it was revealed that an office has already been reserved for Facebook at the Hub, which means that Facebook's physical presence will be felt in Port Harcourt city.
The tourists were shown the Ken Saro-Wiwa and Ken Saro-Wiwa jnr's office which was no longer in use but has become a tourist attraction. After the tour, group picture was taken.
