Convene Conquers Africa: 11th Premier Corporate Governance Conference
In our previous entries for the #ConveneConquers series, we talked about our experiences from the events we attended in Europe, North America, and Asia-Pacific. In this article, we’ll talk about the conference we have recently attended in South Africa.
Following our last attendance in 2016, Convene came back this year as a sponsor for the 11th Premier Corporate Governance Conference held at the Montecasino, Johannesburg, South Africa recently.
Organized by the Chartered Secretaries Southern Africa (CSSA), this year’s Premier Corporate Governance Conference covered topics focusing on the importance of transparency in promoting good governance within every organization. The CSSA tailored the event in recognition of the increasing concerns about compliance of financial reporting standards and accountability of board directors.
The two-day event was the perfect avenue for 250 directors, corporate secretaries, and representatives from leading companies in South Africa to interact and exchange best practices with high-profile panelists and speakers who are well-versed in the topic of promoting effective, entrepreneurial, and prudent management that can deliver long-term success to any company.
Convene had the pleasure of meeting and engaging with executives and governance professionals from leading financial companies, healthcare organizations, educational institutions, and local government agencies during the conference. One of which – Ms. Shakun Ramsamujih from The Aurum Institute — won an iPad from Convene during the raffle draw.
Being a Level 1 B-BBEE certified board governance solution in South Africa, our sales director, Mr. Alok Kumar, and our trusted partner in South Africa, Mr. Piyush Nagar, showed the attendees of the event how Convene can help make their board operations and decision making more secure and efficient.
Stay tuned for the next #ConveneConquers. Who knows, our next conquest might just be in your area!
