JOHANNESBURG/LOS ANGELES: Event organizer Basic Lead is launching a new market, DISCOP Africa Express, a partner to its annual DISCOP Africa.

DISCOP Africa Express will take place June 2 to 4 at the Sofitel Ivoire Hotel in Abidjan, Cote D’Ivoire. The event will focus on the African content industry and also have an educational program and networking hub.

DISCOP Africa will again be held at the Sandton Convention Centre, from November 4 to 6.

Patrick Zuchowicki, founder of DISCOP Africa, said, “Our annual Johannesburg based market continues to exceed expectations each year as more key international players recognize the importance of Africa and its strong potential in the global content distribution industry. Following a survey of a cross section of our participants in November, it became clear that the time is right to establish a second dedicated market, at the heart of Francophone Africa, to further the growth of this important region and become an essential partner to our thriving Johannesburg event.”
