In-House Congress Johannesburg 2019

Our second annual Johannesburg In-House Congress took place on November 6 in Johannesburg. The event started with an opening speech from our founding director, Tim Gilkison, which was followed by a lively panel discussion about technology and talent management. Moderated by our publisher, Rahul Prakash, the panel included Carina Wessels, governance, legal and compliance executive at Alexander Forbes; Pieter Badenhorst, legal, risk and compliance director at AFGRI Group; Didier Mbayo, regional commercial legal counsel with Aviat Networks; Tshepo Shabangu, partner and chairperson of the partnership at Spoor & Fisher; Cameron Dunstan-Smith, director of the corporate crime and investigations practice in Johannesburg for Herbert Smith Freehills; and Christopher Akiwumi, former government and regulatory affairs director, MEA, at Microsoft.

It was a beneficial day for the attendees, thanks to workshops from Amereller, Control Risks, Herbert Smith Freehills and LEX Africa. The congress was also supported by Taylor Root and Alexander Forbes where the event was held.
