Exhibition Stands, Workshop, and Networking Events…

There is a need for small and medium entrepreneurs to access information and finance in order to enhance their own personal skills and to ensure the success of their enterprises.

Exhibitions in this country are being recognized as a powerful marketing tool, but there is an increasing trend to link conferences to exhibitions in a joint platform.

This is what is proposed for the “Showcase Your Business” Conference/Exhibition in June 2010.

Entrepreneurs will be given the opportunity to spend time with the exhibitors discussing areas of mutual interest.

Experiential edutainment is of paramount importance and we aim to create an event that will be remembered as one which contributed hugely to the growth of entrepreneurs in Gauteng and then nationally as we roll out the concept

Women in Finance Hot Tables Dinner Networking Event including at least 20 expert hosts.

The idea of this evening will be to offer guests an inspirational discussion with an expert in their field in an intimate small group environment. These events have run successfully since July 2006 as learning and networking opportunities. The event is open to all women and men whether they are in corporate business or an SMME.

How does it work
  Guests choose a table of ten to begin with and then move to a different table after each course of a three-course meal. There is a break between each course to stretch your legs and to have time to move to the next table of your choice. Hosts remain at the tables allocated to them and network with the guests that join them over the 3-course meal. Experts are selected from a range of fields eg. Marketing, PR, advertising, finance, investment, ecommerce, publishing, networking, sales, promotions, government, etc.
