This week, Orange Uganda will host the Orange Expo for the fourth year in a row, under the theme “come and get wowed”.
The event comes about a month earlier than previous editions which have often been held in November. In the absence the ICT Expo, the Orange Expo is now the largest technology event in Uganda, attracting hundreds of participants each year, and continues to underscore Orange’s data-lead approach to the Ugandan market.
The internet is definitely occupying more and more time in our agendas. Orange has acknowledged that fact by adapting its product portfolio to customer usages: from the occasional mobile surfer to the movie download addict.
– Former Orange Uganda’s Chief Strategy Officer, Edouard Blondeau told PC Tech Magazine in a 2011 interview.
Orange this year launched its Orange Money service, 4G/LTE internet, and a host of other service offerings. This expo will undoubtedly present an opportunity for customers to get a first-hand experience at the latest trends in the telecommunications sector, while possibly winning give-aways too.
Orange says the 2013 expo will show case Orange Uganda as the best all round mobile operator in Uganda, providing the best quality services to compliment our customers’ mobile lifestyle:
