As Official Newswire, APO Group will provide distribution and monitoring of all press releases, images, video and soundbite content issued by the Africa Tech Festival.

Over the past 24 years, Africa Tech Festival has become the biggest telecoms and technology event on the continent, connecting business leaders, policy makers and experts across all sectors of the technology industry, including connectivity and communications, enterprise digital transformation, ICT policy, broadcasting and digital media.

The festival is a celebration of Africa’s vibrant, diverse community of technology champions, and is designed to inspire a better, more inclusive digital world.

The anchor event of Africa Tech Festival 2022 is AfricaCom - the meeting place for Africa’s growing community of tech champions. AfricaCom is the largest live tech event in Africa with more than 300 visionary speakers and 16 premium conference tracks, each with razor-sharp focus, exploring the hottest connectivity and enterprise tech trends.

In total, Africa Tech Festival 2022 will host 10,000+ attendees, and 300+ sponsors and exhibitors over a week of strategic events.

APO Group is the obvious choice to distribute and monitor the performance of all news content generated at a festival of this magnitude. With a powerful media network (https://bit.ly/36DUYVN) including more than 450,000 journalists working in Africa or writing about Africa, APO Group is able to reach every corner of the continent, as well as targeting international technology journalists interested in the festival.

News content distributed by APO Group is also automatically published on 320 African news websites, international platforms like Bloomberg Terminal, Thomson Reuters Eikon, Lexis Nexis, and Factiva, hundreds of RSS readers, News Industry Text Format (NITF) readers, Google News, and social media channels.

After news content has been distributed, monitoring is essential for showing evidence of media engagement and coverage. APO Group’s media monitoring reports (https://bit.ly/3JvLrip) are the most comprehensive available in the press release industry, and include unique features such as print monitoring and Google impressions.

The biggest players in the African technology space choose APO Group because it has the network and expertise to help them thrive in Africa’s diverse media landscape.
