State of the economy and its impact on the sector
Innovation, technology and the fourth industrial revolution

Speakers and panellists include a range of key industry stakeholders and decision-makers from the public and private sector, and funding institutions.

“SAIBPP’s mandate is to drive transformation within the sector, so it is therefore only fitting that we face burning issues head on and find ways to open discussions that affect us all. We are therefore proud to announce that attendees can also look forward to keynote addresses delivered by the deputy minister of land reform Honourable Mr Mcebisi Skhwatsha, amongst others,” says SAIBPP president Nkuli Bogopa.
