The events industry has been particularly hard hit by the COVID-19 pandemic.
In response, the organizers of DISCOP have announced various changes concerning the upcoming editions in Abidjan and Johannesburg.
The new dates will be as follows:
- Discop Abidjan will take place on September 3-4, 2020, and Discop Johannesburg on October 28-29, 2020 (initially scheduled for July in the South African city).
DISCOP is also changing its format, as the next two editions will be held over two days instead of the usual three.
The organizers have also announced that in 2021, DISCOP will once again be held over three days on the following dates:
- DISCOP Abidjan during the week of May 24
- DISCOP Joburg 2021 during the week of July 19
It should be noted that the organizers had initially chosen to bring the two editions closer together in order to strengthen relations and synergies between players in the French-speaking and English-speaking zones.
