The 2004 Vodacom Mobile Connect event is aimed at promoting mobile applications, integration and usage in South Africa.
With panel discussions, case studies, workshops and exhibitions from South Africa's leading mobile solutions providers, it promises to inspire the business community with innovative mobile technologies.
