ABOUT

My City Talk is a fast-paced event (Ted-Talk Style) to get our city talking. The aim is to draw politicians, business leaders, academics, youth and ordinary citizens together - under one roof; to discuss ideas and debate their relevance. At the same time we provide a platform for businesses to showcase their products and services to a captive audience. What to look forward to? 10 Speakers - each having 25-minute to talk on a topic of interest to our audience. The expected turnout is set at 1000 audience members. Gain relevant information from industry leaders, exhibit your business and build your brand, while networking with like-minded people.
