Join us to engage with brands\, discover emerging trends\, and connect with industry leaders. \nIn response to valuable member feedback and following careful refinement\, we are proud to introduce our newly reimagined Compacts\, previously known as Forums. The Compact model\, initially piloted in 2025\, has been further enhanced through extensive consultation to strengthen its effectiveness and overall impact. \nThis new structure is designed to encourage meaningful cross-sector collaboration and is firmly aligned with the Durban Chamber of Commerce and Industry NPC’s revised\nstrategic pillars: Voice\, Accountability\, Investment\, Collaboration\, and Grow. It also complements existing structures\, including the Presidential eThekwini Working Group. \nIn addition\, we are excited to launch a particularly impactful initiative for our SMMEs. Having heard your challenges around access to funding\, we are introducing a dedicated platform\, in partnership with FinFind\, aimed at bridging this gap. This collaboration is designed to empower businesses to secure the financial support needed to grow\, innovate\, and thrive. \nWe warmly invite you to join us for this launch engagement\, where we will unpack the new Compacts\, create purposeful networking opportunities\, and connect like-minded professionals. \nBe part of the conversation and don’t miss this exciting milestone. \nEvent Details \nDate: 08 May 2026 \nTime: 17:00 pm \nVenue: The Murray Grindrod Room\,\n(101 Isaiah Ntshangase Road\, Stamfordhills Durban)
