More than a seat.
A summit is a full working day on your business, not a day of listening. You leave with work done, people met and a route to the next step.
A full-day masterclass
MBA-calibre teaching on one discipline, taught for operators: frameworks you can apply in your business on Monday morning.
The FNB partnership
Delivered with FNB, whose business bankers and specialists are in the room: access, insight and relationships that outlast the day.
A 12-month mentorship
At every summit, one business wins a year of structured mentorship. Opt in when you apply, and attendance is your entry.
The Business Showcase
Selected applicants showcase their products and services to the room. Tell us on the application form if you want a stand.
A room worth knowing
Entrepreneurs, corporates and programme partners from your province, together in one place for a day.
No cost to attend
Seats are fully sponsored by I AM AN ENTREPRENEUR and FNB. Apply, and if you are selected, you attend at no charge.
Built for entrepreneurs in the arena.
A registered, revenue-generating business
Pre-revenue ventures are not eligible for this series.
Any of the nine provinces
Apply for the city you can attend in person. The summit comes to each province in turn.
Owner-led businesses only
The day is built for the person who makes the decisions, not a delegate sent on their behalf.
One city opens at a time.
Applications are handled on the summit site, where you can see the current window and apply for your province.
