The second edition of the conference "The Place of Women in the Media in French-speaking Africa" will address, without taboos, the difficulties women face in their profession.
Conferences will be organized throughout the event, including one dedicated to NCI, one of the upcoming Ivorian DTT channels, and another highlighting the rapidly developing e-sports and video game market on the African continent.
This year, a DISCOP Club will be available to buyers to deepen their knowledge of the content on offer during the event. They will have access to an interactive digital catalog of more than 500 titles available for immediate delivery, which are international hits and many of which were produced in Africa.
