Pre-Summit events
A programme of optional events (eg workshops, Unisa Library tour, pre-Summit cocktail) takes place on Tuesday, 2 July 2013, offering delegates the opportunity to learn a new skill, enhance their knowledge or gather information about a specific topic.
Not only are such activities excellent opportunities in themselves, they are also extremely valuable pre-Summit networking events in their own right. These are either full or half day events.
