NEW DATES FOR AFRICA'S BIG 7

The global situation surrounding the Covid-19 virus has continued to evolve, and
dmg events have been closely monitoring the situation. We have also been in close contact with our exhibitors, partners and key participants.

With the necessary restrictions which the South African Government has rightly introduced to protect public safety, and internal travel bans within companies, a large majority of participants now find themselves unable to travel.

With this in mind, and in the interests of our global exhibitors and key buyers from the region, Africa’s Big 7 will be postponed and rescheduled to 20 – 22 June 2021.

Our main priority is the safety of all our stakeholders involved in Africa’s Big 7 and appreciate your understanding that this decision has been taken in the best interests of all participants.

We look forward to welcoming you to Africa’s Big 7 in 2021.
