Trialogue Business in Society Conference 2020
We are slowly emerging from lockdown and as a nation we are piecing together the remnants of our plans for 2020. Cognisant of the continued practice of social distancing for the foreseeable future, Trialogue is excited to confirm that we have made the decision to migrate our conference to an entirely virtual experience, rescheduled for 13 and 14 October 2020.
Key themes at the Trialogue Business in Society Conference: 20/20 Vision
1. Breaking barriers to quality education
Presented in partnership with Old Mutual
How can all sectors of society help to promote literacy as a cornerstone of quality education, collaborate to improve impact in the sector, and support early childhood development to help lay the groundwork for a lifetime of learning?
2. Further education reform and employability
Presented in partnership with Absa
How should further education and training be preparing our youth to grow our economy, how can all sectors best support young entrepreneurs to compete in a disruptor economy, and what kind of innovation is needed for job creation at scale?
3. ICT for development
Presented in partnership with Vodacom
What can we do to ensure that tech helps to bridge, rather than deepen, our social divide, that women and girls are adequately supported to thrive in the ICT sector, and how will tech impact the future of work?
4. Trialogue Donors’ Den 2020
Presented in partnership with MTN
How are youth empowerment-focused non-profit organisations drawing from their monitoring and evaluation insight to improve their programming?
