Reflecting on the Africa Tech Festival. We had an incredible time at Africa Tech, where we not only showcased our expertise in the TMT sector but also forged valuable new connections. As the only law firm with a stand at the event, we were proud to represent our field. Our head of TMT, Tyron Fourie, participated in a panel discussion on governance strategies for cybersecurity, alongside esteemed speakers. His insights contributed to a vibrant discussion on this critical topic. A huge thank you to the Eversheds team— Craig Rogers, Kelly Nevin, Grant Williams, Kyle Lamb, Nadia Froneman, Themba Khumalo, Sarah Eileen Charlton and Greg Shapiro—for their hard work and dedication in representing our firm at this prestigious event. We’d also like to extend a special shoutout to our caricaturist for adding a fun and engaging touch to our stand! Thank you to everyone who visited our stand and engaged with us. We look forward to continuing these important conversations! #EvershedsSutherlandSA #AfricaTechFestival2024 #ATF
