The event starts with a welcome and opening session on 22 June. Webinars follow on the 23-35 June where participants get the opportunity to have one on-one-sessions with fellow professionals.

Applicants are encouraged to provide a detailed organisational profile to ensure they are matched successfully. 

Other features of the event include connecting proactively with other participants through booking sessions and private, instant chat. All entrants are encouraged to prepare for the event by familiarising themselves with the platform the previous day.

Participants so far include Pieter Lolkema Diplomat at Netherlands’ Embassy to South Africa, Christiaan CF Pennekamp, CEO at Hypoport Africa Ltd and Vicki van der Westhuizen, Independent Business Consultant at State of Wonder.
