Social Media Week Durban is part of an international conference that allows individuals to share ideas, innovations and insights on how social media and technology are transforming businesses, communities and cultures around the world.
The Hilton Hotel is the official venue partner for 2018, alongside Vuzane Studio, Intouch Africa and Weasy Africa.
The event is an annual global conference, social media education and industry news platform for professionals in media, marketing and technology, as well as digital influencers and entrepreneurs.
The aim is to give professionals at the intersection of media, marketing and technology the insights, ideas and opportunities that they need to advance themselves and their organisations in a globally connected world.
"We are very pleased with the composition of the main speakers for Social Media Week Durban. I am sure that their insights will help social and digital industry practitioners to realise the power of social media in South Africa. We can’t wait to share all the industry heavyweights joining us as we make our debut in Durban," says Sibanda.
The launch of Social Media Week Durban also brings a series of workshop master classes that aim to provide more in-depth knowledge and practical insights into various areas of social media and digital marketing. The list of the speakers for the event are yet to be released to the public.
