Please take note of the following events:

This event is being hosted by the Durban Chamber of Commerce and comes at a time when Durban is celebrating her diverse heritage and the status of being the world's premier tourism destination. The numerous international events that have been held in Durban, further complemented by Durban's good management practices have earned this city the status of the best-run city in Africa. To keep this momentum, it is therefore imperative that public private partnerships are enhanced.
