OVERVIEW

This year’s leadership summit saw 270 guests gathered under the theme “Leaders engaging with purpose” and for the second time running was produced and managed by theSQUAD Creative.

The two-day event, hosted at Sun Park, Sun City Resort literally challenged attendees to think “outside the box”. From the unique DIY conference seating to the live graffiti, each activity was thoughtfully designed to inspire and engage the leaders. These interactive elements were catalysts for fresh thinking and creativity, encouraging guests to connect in meaningful ways.

CULINARY EXCELLENCE

A highlight of the summit was the culinary experience, meticulously planned and executed by Chef Jaco Truter and his team. The meals were a delight to the senses. The all-day snack stations, featuring a variety of treats like fruit oat & cranberry cookies, mixed nuts, and marinated biltong, provided the necessary fuel for the guests throughout the event.

GALA DINNER

The gala dinner was a culinary journey in itself. Starting with fresh oysters and Tequila Queen’s Don Julio shots, the menu progressed to a diverse selection of mains including marinated beef tenderloin, Salmon en Papillote, and grilled lamb chops. The dessert served al fresco on the deck was a perfect ending to the feast, with options like Baileys & strawberry Tiramisu and strawberry shortcake.

TEAMBUILDING

Teambuilding activities were curated to enhance the overall experience. These included a ‘Leave your “title” behind jar,’ challenging the leaders to build their own conference chair, and immersive brainstorming sessions in ‘animal’ teams. We also set up an onsite “newsroom”, where we wrote and designed a bespoke newsletter; adding a breaking-news element to the occasion, as well as giving guests a memorable overview of the event.

ENTERTAINMENT

The event was elevated by an impressive lineup of entertainers, including Caroline Raddall, DJ James Cassel, The All Stars, Musical Muso, Bongi Archi, and Federico Fernandez. Their performances added an uplifting atmosphere and a sense of celebration.
