During last year's summit, attendees voiced a desire for increased opportunities to network and engage with speakers. We have taken heed of this feedback and are diligently working to facilitate more interactive sessions for guests and participants. To this end, we are pleased to announce the inauguration of the Cape Town Business Summit EXPO, a novel addition to our event lineup.
Scheduled concurrently with the summit, the EXPO will showcase approximately 15 exhibitors spanning a diverse range of business sectors, including banking services, essential business amenities, and other pivotal business-related informational services. The EXPO will be operational from 10:00 am to 5 pm, providing ample time for exploration and engagement. Situated in Ballroom West on the first floor, just preceding Auditorium 1 where the summit will convene, this venue will also double as a designated networking area.
A comprehensive roster of exhibitors will be disclosed closer to the event date. Corporations interested in participating in the EXPO are encouraged to reach out to our offices via telephone at (021) 439-8000 or by email at [email protected]. It is imperative to note that space availability is extremely limited.
