Suits and Sneakers seminar

Suits & Sneakers is fast becoming South Africa’s most anticipated event, a crossroads for business icons and those at the forefront of culture to tackle pressing issues, learn from emerging trends and transformation in society.

Technology is transforming the world at a mind-boggling speed. Artificial intelligence is expected to be in full swing by 2030, making the average employee obsolete within the next 14 years.

Community members are invited to attend the most challenging, comprehensive and fully interactive Suits & Sneakers seminar yet. They will be guided by a modern-day employee through the importance of self-development and how to remain relevant in an unpredictable workplace by unlocking their entrepreneurial spirit.

The aim of the seminar is to equip every employee with the tools needed to unlock their initiative and broaden their potential on their career journey.

Founded by Mark Sham, Suits & Sneakers celebrates it fourth major seminar in three years. Sham is an entrepreneur whose passion is human development. A public speaker by nature, he has been tackling topics that talk to the soul of South Africa, and Suits & Sneakers does exactly that. These events follow the popular TED talks model from the USA and allows speakers to touch on any topic they choose from a thought leadership perspective.

“There is enormous power in numbers and if we do this together, we could create a real change,” he said.

“This is why the people have become obsessed with the concept. It represents a chance to change the world around us. We have speakers doing their best to teach you something new from an informal learning perspective. That means no boring Powerpoint presentations or classroom-style teaching.”

The date of the event is 16 November at 6pm and it will be held at the Sandton Convention Centre.

The seminar is free of charge.
