Social Media Week Lagos (SMW Lagos) co-produced by Dragon Africa and AFRIKA21 heads to London, England September 27, 2013. Following the overwhelming success of the inaugural SMW Lagos February 18 – 22, 2013, the SMW Lagos team has been invited to participate in Social Media Week London (SMWLDN).

SMWLDN, part of the larger Social Media Week global conference, is now in it’s fifth year an attended by close to 10,000 people. Taking place in 18 cities around the world, Social Media Week explores the social, cultural and economic impact of social media.

In partnership with world-class higher education institution Ravensbourne, SMW Lagos will host a day of programming on September 27, 2013, entitled “Africa: Open & Connected.” The daylong event will explore how Africans are incorporating social media in their unique social, political, economic and creative landscapes. 

The three featured panels are “1 Billion Strong ... A Continent on The Rise,” “Open Access: Governance & Social Media in Africa,” and “E!Africa... How Social Media Is Driving Entertainment in Africa.” Africa: Open & Connected will culminate in a special concert (SMW Lagos LIVE!) presented by Nigeria’s premiere radio station Beat 99.9FM and streamed live.
