INTERNATIONAL CONFERENCE – Communications and e-Systems for Economic Stability (CeSES 2023)
Human ingenuity and technological innovation combined with the advancement in connected devices are changing how we live, work, play, and conduct businesses. Despite the many benefits derived for these modern technologies, most economies still face the challenge of adoption due to internal capabilities and unseen environmental factors leading to poor economic growth.
Communications and electronic systems have the potential to achieve lasting, positive impacts on economic prosperity, social inclusion, and environmental protection, leading to a new era of a sustainable digital economy. The International Conference on Communications and e-Systems for Economic Stability (CeSES 2023) will provide a premier interdisciplinary platform for researchers, practitioners, educators to present and discuss the most recent innovations, trends, concerns, practical challenges encountered, and solutions adopted in the deployment of e-systems.
With an average of 2,000 delegates each year, the International Conference has become the largest gathering of IT Professionals in Africa.
