DISCOP Postpones African Markets

DISCOP Abidjan and DISCOP Johannesburg have been postponed to September and October, respectively.

DISCOP Abidjan had been slated for May 27 to May 29 and will now take place September 3 to 4.

DISCOP Johannesburg was set for July 29 to 31, and the event will now be held from October 28 to 29.

Organizers said the 2020 editions—which were expected to host over 500 companies driving media, entertainment and advertising business across Africa—have been moved due to growing concerns related to the spread of the coronavirus on the continent.

DISCOP President Patrick Zuchowicki Jucaud said: “We were more optimistic three weeks ago but the safety of our clients and staff is our priority. The last part of the year will be busy, and we believe these new dates will provide the DISCOP community with the opportunity to achieve their business objectives in Africa.”
