The Awards draw together hundreds of thought-leaders in the same venue to celebrate South Africa\u2019s most inspiring top performers. The positive energy of such a unique gathering is infectious.<\/p>\n<p>This year sees the first ancillary National Business Conference taking place, in advance of the evening Awards. Topco Director, Karla Fletcher, explains the thinking behind it, \u201cAs a positivity-driven organisation, we realise that our responsibility is more than one of showcasing and awarding business excellence. We have a responsibility &#8211; and the networking capacity &#8211; to foster the sharing of business insight and wisdom; to provide a platform for economic leaders to share their secrets to success and their game-changing ideas\u201d.<\/p>\n<p>The Conference, held on 17th November, saw renowned businessman and politician, Dr Mathews Phosa, give a keynote address on \u201cRising through the obstacles\u201d. He was joined by a distinguished line-up of top speakers including Greg Solomon, Jannie Venter, Asher Bohbot, Shirley Zinn and Lance Fanaroff . It also incorporated a Fast Track Networking (FTN) session, where delegates met to engage new partnerships and growth opportunities. This session was sponsored by one of the fastest-growing and most innovative organisations in SA, the Development Bank of Southern Africa. DBSA is instrumental in helping the Southern African region to become more integrated, energy-efficient and prosperous, and Topco was honoured to have their participation in the Conference.<\/p>\n<p>To find out more about the National Business Conference, email angelique.edwards@topco.co.za.
