Just a reminder that the Creative Week programme has been adjusted this year to help you make the most of your time in Durban.

MasterClasses are on Thursday, the DStv Seminar of Creativity on Friday, and Awards Ceremonies are now on Friday and Saturday night.

Agency parties should be hosted on Friday night after the awards show. Gearhouse Group, official sponsor of Events, Activations, Ambient & Sponsorship Category, have different technical packages to help you throw the party of the weekend - see the options here.

Delegates should arrive Wednesday, 16 August, and depart Sunday, 19 August, to maximise the value of what Creative Week has to offer.

Tsogo Sun is our official accommodation partner, with four hotels along Durban’s Golden Mile in close proximity to the Durban ICC, which means you get to stay in the hub of Loeries’ activity 24/7.

Book your tickets and accommodation directly through our website to received preferential rates.
