The SA Auto Week is primarily a Business-2-Business [B2B] event which will be attended by automotive industry leaders around the globe and from many African countries with interest in the development and growth of the sector. We will be setting-up a conferencing experience with panel discussions, networking sessions, seminars plus an industry trade fair with speed dating opportunities for potential industry beneficiaries to meet with some of our component suppliers and our local OEMs. Largely, we will be dealing with entrepreneurs, different brand representatives, and executives with business-oriented goals.
