The Gathering 2015

It's a whole-day event, with non-stop action from the time John Vlismas welcomes the audience at Vodacom Dome in Midrand. And we thought, you might just want your mind blown.
The most entertaining part of the day is watching our newsmakers being put on the spot by the sharp minds of Daily Maverick journalists. Here, taking no-comment for an answer is not an option.
Who can you expect to see on stage? Well, these are just some of the confirmed speakers so far:

Zwelenzima Vavi (Unionist)
Mmusi Maimane (DA)
Dr Iraj Abedian (Pan-African Capital)
Martyn Davies (Frontier Advisory)
Mark Heywood (Section 27)
Riaan Manser (Adventurer)
Yolanda Cuba (Vodacom)
Ranjeni Munusamy (Daily Maverick)
Justice Malala (Poilitcal Analyst)
Richard Poplak (Daily Maverick)
Gareth Cliff (Cliff Central)

We're also expecting some red beret-wearing revolutionaries from the EFF and government representatives join the party. Can you imagine the fireworks?

Again, why should you come? Here are three good reasons, off the top of our heads:

There is nothing like it in SA - watch the most important leaders in SA under the spotlight of experienced journalists and they mix it up with some great humour, social commentary and spot-on analysis.
Be a part of the day's news agenda - the event trends worldwide on social media and dominates the local news cycle. Be a part of the action and maybe get your face on TV.
With free Wi-Fi you can pretend to be at work, while you're lapping up the meaningful conference of the year.
