Durban Chamber to host gala dinner

THE Durban Chamber of Commerce and Industry will host its 163rd annual Gala Dinner on Wednesday, 21 August at the Globe at Suncoast.

The Gala Dinner has been the biggest business networking event in Durban since its inception in 1856 and commemorates and celebrates its membership and the Durban business community as a whole.

Guests expected include captains of industry, business owners and entrepreneurs from across Durban and KwaZulu-Natal as well as out of town guests who lead organisations that do business with Durban businesses. Additionally, local, provincial and national government representatives, international ambassadors, consul generals, international business leaders and other key investment partners will be in attendance at the glittering themed event that will be a tongue-in-cheek homage to the James Bond franchise.

“From Durban, with love” is the selected theme that will showcase Durban’s energy and vibrancy as a significant economic hub on the rise. Guests will be treated to a lavish gourmet dinner, enjoying the finest wines as well as a champagne and whisky bar stocked with top local and international brands. The audience will be treated to a unique entertainment experience as well as business-focussed content relevant to members and organised business as a whole.

“As an added initiative to promote the growth and development of start-ups and small, medium and micro enterprises (SMMEs), the Durban Chamber is urging CEOs from large corporates to purchase seats or tables on behalf of young CEOs, entrepreneurs and business leaders in the SMME sector as well,” said Palesa Phili, CEO of the Durban Chamber.
