Did you know that eventing and business tourism in South Africa is a R380 billion industry? Why are events such a popular and effective way to build a brand and business? Hlubi and Gareth discuss this as well as their recent experience at the Contemporary Events Showcase 2015 which also coincided with the launch of the AMGC63. It was a top class event where they were able to speak to a number of the big name guests that shared insight into how events help their businesses and brands grow. Don’t miss this very informative conversation.

Michal Wronski has been recognised as one of the 'Top 200 Young South Africans' by Mail & Guardian and in the Media’s 'Top 40 under 40' in both 2014 and 2015. He has a passion for social business and sustainability and is a member of the World Economic Forum Global Shapers. Mike is also an entrepreneur, having founded Fuseware in 2009, which grew into a well-known brand and an emergent market leader. Having developed the Fuseware brand into an authoritative player in the local analytics industry, Fuseware was acquired by Ornico Group in May 2015. Hlubi and Gareth talk to him about his experiences and journey.

Albert Kruger, CEO of Contemporary Events, and Hein Lorentz, Mercedes Benz Gauteng North Divisional Director, welcome Hlubi and Gareth to the AMGC63 Launch.

Clayton Cohen, Senior Events Manager at MNET, and Frans Labuschagne, Country Division Head at Bayer, talk driving sales and launching products using events.

Nicole Orr, Marketing Executive at Mustek and Dima Sette, Banks SETA General Manager of Corporate Services, tell Gareth and Hlubi how we can train and motivate our staff through events.

Hlubi and Gareth talk event trends and creating memorable experiences with Oscar Motsepe, owner of Lessette Corporation, and Leo Smit, KykNet Brand Manager.

Beautiful mother and daughter combo Suzette Marais, Director of Top Model SA, and Jennica Marais, who just signed with Boss Models, pop in to say hi and share their experience at the event.

“Build your business and brand through eventing.”, says Bo Denim, lead singer of Denim, and Helen Joubert, Sales Manager of Danone South Africa.

Would you go into business with family? Many initially baulk at the idea, but there is a strong case for why it is in fact such a good thing to do. Of course there are also a number of possible negatives too. Hlubi and Gareth explore all of this and more this week as they talk 'Family Businesses' with Abu Cassim of Next Generation Lab, researcher Dora Jurd from Innovative Matters, and brother and sister entrepreneur combo Lidija and Bojan Ivanovic, founders of the very popular Balkan Burgers.

Hlubi and Gareth are joined in studio by lawyer entrepreneurs Kyle Torrington and Andrew Taylor, who are changing the way we source and pay for legal advice through their innovative online business, Lexnove. They talk together around the challenges of facing the entrepreneurial lifestyle after both working in law firms, as well as some of the ups and downs they have faced as they pushed to establish the Lexnove platform and brand.
