Shure to Showcase Audio Solutions for Hybrid Work at Inaugural GITEX Africa 2023 Tech Event

GITEX Global, the world’s largest and most inclusive tech event will debut GITEX AFRICA (www.GITEXAfrica.com) in Marrakesh, Morocco from 31 May through 2 June 2023. Shure will be present at the continent’s largest tech event show and will demonstrate its latest audio solutions for the AV conferencing and professional audio industry. Shure’s presence at GITEX AFRICA 2023 reinforces the importance of high-quality audio technology for IT managers and AV decision-makers, while strengthening connections with key customers, partners, and industry friends.

 

Shure understands that organizations around the world need scalable, user-friendly audio solutions to facilitate seamless collaboration as they continue to help remote and hybrid workforces ensure long-term success. To address these needs, Shure continues to innovate and enhance its conferencing technology to empower teams with clear, high-quality audio so that, no matter where the workforce is, they communicate efficiently and remain more engaged and productive than ever.

A long-time participant of GITEX Global, Shure has been providing audio solutions for companies throughout Africa for decades. In 2019, the UM6P (https://apo-opa.info/3HeE7Za) in Morocco turned to Shure to outfit their modular classrooms with Microflex® Advanced Ceiling Array Microphones to provide pristine audio capture for remote learners and teachers, all before remote and hybrid environments were a daily occurrence. The high-quality audio solution enabled teachers to wander around the classroom and be as free as possible while still capturing students’ questions without picking up any ambient noise. The seamless integration of the ceiling array microphones led to an interactive learning experience for everyone involved.

“We offer smart meeting room solutions for different scale of classrooms and meeting space” said Yassine Mannai, Senior Sales Manager, Middle East and Africa at Shure. “We understand the need for high-quality audio products in any environment, including professional audio applications, and are excited to showcase a range of smart solutions at GITEX AFRICA.”

Tayo Folorunsho Calls for Investment and Structural Reforms to Propel Abuja’s Entertainment Industry to Greater Heights

post-image

Tayo Folorunsho, a leading Nigerian entertainment expert and Founder of Edutainment First International Ltd/GTE, has raised concerns about the challenges of running an entertainment business in Abuja. Despite the difficulties, he remains committed to overcoming these obstacles, urging for significant investments and coordinated reforms to unlock the full potential of Abuja’s entertainment industry.

Abuja, Nigeria’s capital city, is renowned for its political significance, booming real estate sector, and vibrant economy. However, Folorunsho, who has successfully run entertainment ventures in Lagos, notes that Abuja’s entertainment market is still in its infancy. Unlike Lagos, where the entertainment scene operates year-round, Abuja’s calendar is more limited, with events mostly concentrated around festive periods. This seasonal nature, coupled with inconsistent support from agencies and organizations, poses a challenge for entertainers and event managers seeking to build long-term businesses in the city.
