If you spent 2025 watching from the sidelines as the marketing landscape transformed, this is your invitation to stop observing and start leading. Last year’s Nedbank IMC was a sold-out masterclass in innovation, but 2026 is set to be something even more critical: a survival guide for the “Shift.”
A Look Back: The Energy of 2025
The 2025 conference was a landmark event that redefined how we view the African marketing industry. It brought together the continent’s most influential CMOs, creative directors, and business analysts to tackle the most pressing challenges of the time. The atmosphere at the Mosaïek Teatro was electric—a melting pot of networking, high-level strategy, and the kind of “lightbulb moments” that drive million-rand campaigns. Those who were in the room left with more than just notes; they left with a competitive edge.
The 2026 Mandate: “Shift Happens™ — Are You Ready?”
If you missed the energy of 2025, you cannot afford to miss the urgency of 2026. The theme “Shift Happens” is a direct response to the intersection of AI, human imagination, and commercial accountability.
In a world where technology moves faster than traditional strategy, this conference is the only place where you can:
-
Bridge the Accountability Gap: Learn how to translate creative “likes” into boardroom “rands” and “cents.”
-
Harness Human Imagination: Discover why, in the age of AI, your unique human perspective is your most valuable asset.
-
Navigate the AI Revolution: Get practical, non-fluff insights on how to integrate machine learning into your workflow today.
The Benefit of Being There (In-Person)
While virtual options exist, there is no substitute for being in the room. The Nedbank IMC is the premier networking hub for the continent.
-
The Power of the Hallway: The most valuable business deals and partnerships often happen during the coffee breaks and lunch sessions between world-class speakers.
