Business Day Focus 4.0 aims to be an exclusive think-tank to awaken South African business leaders to the rapidly changing future where the physical, digital and biological spheres merge as a result of technological innovation.

Billed as 'embracing the fourth industrial revolution,' the conference will address emerging trends, opportunities and challenges. It will also highlight success models for consideration in a changing business environment.

Taryn Westoby, head of Tiso Blackstar Events, says that Business Day Focus 4.0 will bring 4IR into focus, "empowering business leaders with a better understanding of what is coming, and how to better equip their organisations for this critical phase in history."

Business Day says that it holds relationships that will attract the most influential and respected business and technology minds to the table — as speakers as well as delegates.

"We expect the networking and knowledge-sharing opportunities to kickstart new partnerships and initiatives for the industry," says Westoby.

Business Day Focus 4.0 is inviting organisations who wish to showcase their leadership and the positive impact of their technology and business solutions to get involved. "We welcome an opportunity to hear from those [who are] experiencing success in their field," Westoby concludes.
