Thirty thought leaders (eight of whom are international) will appear over the course of one day at this year’s virtual event on 29 July. Dale Hefer, CEO of the Nedbank IMC, says the power of the conference is in being able to gather so many of Africa’s advertising and marketing thought leaders together in one virtual place, on one day. “From powerful brands to agile independents, we have a strong selection of the best of the best providing leading thinking on what it takes for today’s marketing to be relevant.
