Time is our most precious resource - so why not spend it learning, growing & connecting with others?
TRUSTED BY THOUSANDS
"All the team at _SOUTHSTART did an amazing job of making me feel welcome in their city, and the event itself was one of the most organised I've had the privilege of being involved in.”
Cam Adams - Co-Founder / CPO at Canva
"_SOUTHSTART was smart: delivering surprise, synergy, and spunk with a world-class speaker line up, SA hospitality and engaging a savvy, hungry audience. A highlight for me was the uniquely curated a 'space program': a strong timely statement amongst start-ups, VCs, new technology, media, social enterprise and wellness programs. It was a joy to spend time with this crowd, and make meaningful connections."
Sara Jane Pell - Artist Astronaut
