This time next week, the Loeries post mortem will have begun and we'll know if the most ambitious event undertaken by this industry, has been a considered success. Because The Loerie Awards are more than just awards for the creative industry. They have always been a barometer of the health of the industry, a premier networking event, a showcase. This time round though, there is a lot more at stake than just a party. The economic implications for the Kwazulu-Natal South Coast region known as the Hibiscus Coast, including Margate, are far reaching for a community which has thrown its weight behind the Loeries with huge enthusiasm. But no awards event this ambitious is without a hitch, and by all accounts the venue is stunning with a host of surprises and a party menu of note for the celebration of creative excellence - despite the fact that bad weather has forced the relocation of the awards tent from Margate beach by about 6km to a grassy knoll in next door St Michaels. The Bizcommunity.com team will be there in full force with special daily reports and all the winners. Look out for our photographer and video crew and please send us your pix from Margate to: gallery@bizcommunity.com. There are still advertising opportunities as well, contact sales@bizommunity.com.
