Get your diaries out...In this fast-paced bustling industry that we find ourselves, we often overlook industry events that we know would have been beneficial to us. At some of these events, it's very often that you can take something that you've learned at the event/conference and share it with your colleagues back at the office - which in turn can grow your company. So today, I will list just a few upcoming events just incase you have not yet diarised them... For more events, have a look at our events section. If you're organising or hosting an event, you can have it featured on our calendar. Hope you have a great week! Evan-Lee Courie @evan1985, @Biz_AfricaComment online in our ed's column archive.
