Exclusive for: Senior Executives
Location: Johannesburg
Date & Time: 03 September 2025 10:00
We are delighted to invite you to Executive Day 2025, an exclusive gathering of South Africa’s leading CIOs, CHROs, and CFOs. This year’s theme - Renewing Our Social Contracts - refers to the idea of re-evaluating and updating the implicit agreements that hold society together, addressing issues like inequality, environmental concerns, and changing societal norms, by adjusting the rights and responsibilities expected of individuals and institutions within a community to reflect current needs and challenges. In this rapidly evolving world, leaders must therefore explore the changing dynamics of relationships between employers and employees, managers and their teams, as well as businesses and the broader society
Executive Day will thus focus on ethical, sustainable, and human-centred leadership, providing all three of the professionals under the Executive Communities banner with an opportunity to brainstorm, make new executive friends and shape tomorrow, together.
