Jozi Is Calling: SATSA Conference Final Programme & Complimentary Delegate Tours

The SATSA 2025 Conference is almost here. In less than three weeks, we’ll gather in Johannesburg for three days of conversation, collaboration, and connection.
We chose Jozi for a reason. Bold, layered, and diverse, it reflects South Africa’s creative spirit and resilience.
Our dinner events echo this spirit - beginning with a luxurious welcome dinner themed City of Gold - Jozi Chic, a rare opportunity to dress up and celebrate in style. The following evening, we shift gears with Sunset & Soul at one of Jozi’s most iconic landmarks, The Troyeville Hotel. Legendary Portuguese flavours set the scene for a relaxed night of sunset views, friends, good food, and music in the beating heart of the city.
Here’s why you should be there
- Our programme is shaped by respected voices tackling the industry’s most pressing issues.
- It brings together keynote addresses, TED-style talks, and dynamic panels designed to inspire action, spark new ideas, and provide practical insights to take back and implement in your business.
- Beyond the conference room, you'll have opportunities to connect with peers, leaders, and potential partners.
- And... you’ll get to experience Jozi differently, through curated delegate tours, cultural encounters, and vibrant networking events.
