THE Robin Hood Foundation is hosting another world-class Entrepreneurial Conference for aspirant and existing entrepreneurs at City Hill Church, Hillcrest on 12 and 13 July.
The Entrepreneurs 4 Africa Conference will train, develop, equip and inspire 1 000 delegates, mainly from previously disadvantaged communities, on the critical aspects of entrepreneurship with knowledge, skills and advice in a jam-packed, two-day event.
Top class speakers, trainers, and experienced business owners are donating their time to offer a life-changing experience. Speakers include Gcina Mhlope, Eric Tocknell, Akhona Mahlati, Mariane Vorster, Grant Gavin, Cindy Norcott, Ayesha Mimis, Brian Adams, Daryl Williams, Sibongiseni Mazibuko and Nomfundo Molefe.
This free conference will cover business ethics, success stories, managing money, ideas generation, basics of book-keeping, the business plan, marketing on a budget, pricing and costing, business etiquette, customer service, goal setting and motivation.
Delegates can also look forward to fabulous entertainment from Qadasi and Maqhinga and Holly Wasserfall and Co.
On day two of the conference, a business exhibition is planned to bring the delegates entrepreneurial opportunities, business knowledge and products and services that will be of benefit to their growth and success.
Founder of The Robin Hood Foundation, Cindy Norcott, said: “We aim to empower the delegates that attend with skills, knowledge and an exposure to a higher level of thinking. With this two-day course behind them we believe that we will be equipping the youth to start thinking of creating their own businesses instead of looking for jobs that don’t necessarily exist.”
Candidates who should apply are men and women aged 16 and older, successful applicants must commit to the two-day seminar as 100 per cent attendance is required.
Delegates will be given manuals, refreshments, goodie bags and there will be lucky draw prizes each day. No transport or accommodation provided.
