NECA announces second keynote for SA conference
NECA has announced that the second keynote for the industry conference in Stellenbosch, South Africa, 17–21 April 2016, is now confirmed. CISCO’s Martin Janse van Rensburg, a former electrician, will present on the implications of technology on the electrical industry and work with CSIRO’s Glenn Platt (the other keynote speaker) to help electrical contractors explore what all this change could mean for their businesses over the next five years.
The conference will close with a talk by men’s health expert and local TV personality Dr Michael Mol on the best way to achieve a good work–life balance by focusing on our strengths, as opposed to our weaknesses.
