Benefits of sponsoring at WAPALOZA

The WAPALOZA Conference & Expo is a 3-day training event to inform members and other industry delegates about various industry topics that affect how business is done.

These include the impact of the Fourth Industrial Revolution (4IR), TV White Space, and 5G. The event will equip young, enthusiastic individuals with the knowledge to start their own Wireless Internet Service Provider business.

WAPA is in the process of regionalising its members’ lists to make it easier for the public in your region to find you. We’re also adding a connectivity map that makes the process really quick and simple.

It’s on! The WAPALOZA training conference and Expo is booked to take place from 16-18 September 2019 at Leriba Lodge, Centurion, Gauteng. We have a limited number of valuable sponsorship opportunities available. To find out more about sponsorship opportunities please download the WAPALOZA brochure.

WAPA has embarked on an aggressive social media marketing campaign to dramatically increase the number of connection requests from the public. Four days a week on Facebook we post content that will drive more connection requests via the WAPA website and ultimately to you. There are both generic and regional posts and we have invested in boosting of the posts to ensure they reach an extended, target audience.

Want to add value to the exposure of your brand? We have a number of sponsorship opportunities available that will give your brand the marketing boost it needs.
