Ghana has been named host nation for both the 2025 Technology Information Confederation (TICON) Africa and African Marketing Confederation (AMC) Conference.
This was announced at the climax of this year’s well attended TICON Africa and AMC Marketing Forum in Mombasa, Kenya. As the third edition of AMC and second edition of TICON Africa, both conferences were well attended and highly engaging.
The 2024 AMC, held under the theme, ‘Brand Resilience Amidst Economic Uncertainty’ offered detailed explorations into various brand resilience strategies that left all in attendance with the knowledge and confidence they need to successfully spearhead their marketing efforts across the continent.
For TICON Africa 2024, held under the theme ‘Advancing ICT Solutions for Sustainable Development in Africa’, this year’s TICON Africa explored topics such as cybersecurity, data privacy challenges, AI in healthcare, harnessing the power of AI and big data for African development among others.
Executive Secretary for Chartered Institute of Marketing Ghana, Kwabena Agyekum, who is also Vice President of AMC for West Africa, expressed delight in the selection of Ghana as the host country for the next conference. “We are more than excited to be hosting the next one. We have seen Entebbe-Uganda and Mombasa-Kenya and we are ready to take it a notch higher. We welcome all of Africa and the world to the 2025 AMC and TICON Africa conferences,”
President of TICON Africa, David Gowu, who is also the Executive Director of the Institute of ICT Professionals Ghana (IIPGH) expressed his excitement in leading the team to the country. “As the President of TICON Africa and a proud Ghanaian, I am honoured to lead the organisation of this prestigious event in our beautiful country. Ghana definitely has a lot to offer and we cannot wait to show the rest of Africa and the world what they are missing,” he said.
