The Chairman of the Lagos NIPR, Olusegun McMedal, said that, “Internet penetration is changing the way we work, socialize, create and share information and organise the flow of people, ideas and things around the globe, the ability to connect with many more people and things and engage them more deeply will continue to expand exponentially. However, the opportunities in the medium require new skillsets especially for communicators to run successful digital communications campaigns. It is important that practitioners are better equipped to operate in the rapidly growing algorithmic media ecosystem”.

The Summit will feature a formal opening ceremony.
