The 9th Annual Hospitality Investment Conference Africa is set to hold from September 9 to 11 in Sandton, South Africa.
As part an exclusive line up of business leaders across the continent, Marek Zmyslowski, Managing Director of Jovago Nigeria will be on the panel discussing the topic ‘Maximizing Revenue and Managing Business Channels’.
This year’s conference which has the theme ‘Growth Through Partnerships’ will highlight the opportunities and threats of the digital age and serve as a platform for sharing best practices and research developments by leading global technology organisations.
“Africa’s economy is rapidly evolving and it is important that we match this growth and contribute to the development of the industry through the adoption of efficient business management systems,” says Marek Zmyslowski.

Speaking on the outlook for the event which seeks to harness this progress, Mmatšatši Ramawela, the conference chairman states,”HICA is renowned for its relevant programme and high-calibre of speakers. Each year, we endeavour to raise the bar even higher. Looking at our speaker line-up, we are confident that we will continue to achieve this goal in 2015 and beyond”.
