Africa’s technology news leader ITNewsAfrica, in association with sponsors Dimension Data and Intel, is proud to host the next edition of the Innovation Dinner Series on 05 September 2013 in Johannesburg, South Africa. The theme of this event is Real World Cloud Adoption.
As businesses continue to optimise their IT operations, the migration to cloud computing has proved to be essential to reducing costs, enhancing productivity and agility, and maintaining a competitive edge. Despite much hype around the cloud, the market is now in a position to discuss real-world examples of the adoption of cloud to improve IT service delivery.
The Innovation Dinner Series is a ‘by invitation only’ event that takes place every two months in South Africa and twice a year in Nigeria. It attracts ICT leaders and business decision makers from across the continent to discuss issues that impact Africa’s burgeoning ICT industry.
Delegates will enjoy a luxurious three-course meal at a top-class venue – in this case The Hyatt Regency in Rosebank – and participate in scintillating conversation around the theme; one that continues to attract widespread attention throughout the ICT sector.

Several keynote speakers have been confirmed for the evening, including
- Aki Anastasiou, host of Talk Radio 702’s weekly tech show Technobyte;
