If you’re a creative entrepreneur who’s keen on using digital tools to grow your business, the Google For Nigeria event is for you. It’s a meeting and learning experience for people interested in exploiting some of the most accessible technologies on the planet to their advantage.
Google For Nigeria
The event is organized by Google; the tech giant is promising to bring together users of its many platforms, its partners, stakeholders and others involved with its activities within the country, to exchange knowledge and plot a path forward for innovative enterprise. A statement on the event’s page describes it as:
“an opportunity for Google to highlight our commitment to the next billion users, and a first look at new products and investments for the region.”
This event, the second of its kind to be held in Nigeria, will offer innovative businesspeople working in the country’s emerging digital enterprise space the chance to connect in person with Google experts and influencers. They’ll get to see the newest products from Google’s store of ever evolving offerings. Even more importantly, the experts will be sharing ideas for deploying these technologies to grow small businesses.
There will be masterclasses at the event. One of these, targeted at publishers, will bring participants up to speed on content delivery strategies, optimizing online pages, and the free tools they could use to make their websites more mobile friendly.
There will also be lessons covering the latest tweaks to YouTube‘s platform and how its users in the region can make the most of those additions. The YouTube masterclass will relay practical experiences with content creation for that channel, as well as success stories could serve as a guide for business-focused YouTubers.
Google expresses the hope that participants will come away from the masterclasses with a better understanding of its products, and a grasp of the opportunities for business building and income generation that they avail users.
Apart from the masterclasses, there’s the general event, which the general public can take part in. That will also feature discussions about Google’s current work to improve tech driven business, and will pan the light on future prospects for entrepreneurship in the country as more ventures leverage digital technologies of the sort provided by Google.
