A fruitful partnership between the KZN Convention Bureau and The Standard Bank Top Women Conference

The word "Zulu" literally means "people of heaven" and it is this word that the KwaZulu-Natal Convention Bureau uses to make potential tourists aware of the many stellar attractions of Durban and KwaZulu-Natal and why it is an ideal meeting venue for various events.

An opportunity for collaboration

The Standard Bank Top Women Conference brings together a trusted network of over 10,000 women entrepreneurs and leaders who are embracing innovative gender empowerment strategies. The two-day virtual event offered public and private sectors tailored solutions, allowing delegates to engage in ‘brave conversations’ and learn from industry pioneers.

As a gold sponsor, the KZN Convention Bureau was a part of a fireside chat on AfCFTA and what the opportunities are for women. The speakers were Sonto Mayise, acting general manager of the Durban KwaZulu-Natal Convention Bureau, alongside Dr Hazel Goodling, the deputy representative of the UN Women. Together they provided insights on how the level of awareness around the AfCFTA is not what it should be and how we need to build the bridges for a successful AfCFTA together.

Top women together
