One of the biggest Media Summits in Uganda; AFRU Media Summit finally returns back on the scene after a great period of time without happening.
The AFRU Media Summit is a world class International Media Convention that brings together both academicians and Media practitioners in the fields of Journalism; Print & Broadcast, Information & Communication Technology, Film, Social Media content creation and other media related professions.
In this convention the media Practitioners of different calibers are tutored; they sit in the audience of luminary facilitators; people from some of the biggest film industries in the world. Even from as far as Hollywood.
The last time this happened, which still was the first time it occurred was in 2018, where keynote talk was given by a then journalist with NTV, Joel Ssenyonyi who now turned politician and is Honorable MP for Nakawa West.
This went silent due to a number of factors but the major one being Covid-19, that caused the closure of schools and universities as a prevention measure.
This year’s Media Summit is currently taking place from the 27th to 30th March 2023 at Africa Renewal University, on the theme; Redefining Media and Influencing Culture.
The Summit will feature facilitators like Derrick Warfel; a film Maker, Julius Nkugwa; Producer & Director, Timothy Kayigwa; Producer & Director and an award-winning film Director, Brian Glassford who will give the keynote speech. The Guest of Honor is expected to be Mrs. Irene Kaggwa Ssewankambo the current Director for Engineering and Communication Infrastructure, Executive Director at Uganda Communications Commission.
Among the activities expected this time round will include; Content creation Ideation, symposiumatic deliberations from a wide range of media gurus, panel discussions and a live music video shoot.
