Join us for our monthly Ubuntu Global Networking event, on Thursday 28 May.

Attending our monthly global networking event, on the last Thursday of each month, not only provides a valuable platform to connect with professionals from diverse industries but also embraces the spirit of ubuntu, a fundamental philosophy deeply rooted in South African culture.

We’ll be hosting two dynamic networking sessions during the webinar, where attendees can connect across industries, share knowledge, and exchange ideas.  Ubuntu emphasizes the interconnectedness and importance of community, fostering a sense of togetherness and collaboration.

Our virtual networking events offer numerous benefits such as:

• Expanding professional connections, in the UK and SA
• Knowledge sharing
• Exchanging ideas and business challenges
• Unlocking career opportunities
• Enhancing visibility
• Fostering a sense of emotional support and camaraderie.

Our speaker this month will be Adam Glasser, Multi-Award Winning South African musician, who will share insights from his experiences conducting South Africa–UK music workshops and performances. He will also invite discussion on how those with highly specialised expertise in their own fields can find practical ways to share their knowledge and skills for the benefit of communities facing social or material challenges.

This event is Free of charge to attend but booking is essential (Please login to book)  The Zoom link will be emailed nearer the time.
