M&G calls for digerati nominations

Comments Phillip de Wet, editor of the new publication, “Based on the success of the Book of South African Women, the M&G is launching "Digerati" in 2009. It will be both a listing of the most important individuals in the field and a preview of what lies ahead in every important area within the technology sector. Add a listing of important resources (websites, events, books) and it will be an indispensable guide.”

To nominate somebody, email before 7 November 2008 with the following information:

• Your name, e-mail address and daytime telephone number
  
• The name, e-mail address and daytime telephone number of your nominee
  
• The title, company and business sector of your nominee
  
• In 100 words or less, tell us what your nominee does and why your nominee is a cut above the rest
  
• In 100 words or less, tell us what your nominee can do for the readers of Digerati

Self-nominations also accepted.

According to De Wet, Digerati will reach a minimum of 10 000 of the most influential people in South Africa through distribution to Mail & Guardian subscribers and key individuals. There will also be an online version.
