Join us for our monthly Ubuntu Global Networking event on SA Heritage Day, Thursday 24 September 2026.

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 are pleased to announce our speaker this month will be Dr Pumela Salela.   Pumela says SA Heritage Day is such an important opportunity for us to pause and celebrate not only the richness and diversity of our individual cultures, but also the wonderful shared identity that connects us as South Africans, wherever in the world we may find ourselves.

We will also 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

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.
