All Amber’s Managing Director commented on his company’s latest event: “I’ve been looking out for an event to organise in Cape Town for two years. Mobile Entertainment Africa is that event and the support and interest we’re receiving is incredible. It’s a fantastic topic – people predominantly like to be entertained on their devices and this event is going to dissect how that opportunity can be grasped by all different elements of the ecosystem. I’d advise anyone interested to keep a close eye on developments because we’re in discussions with key players about some major launches and news being released at the event.This event is going to really take off over the next few weeks.”
