Following its very successful launch in 2014, and now in its second year, MyWorld of Tomorrow movement made up of the conference, expo, and various social platforms for engagement returns in 2015. This year’s movement will culminate again from the 22-24 October at the Sandton Convention Centre, in Johannesburg.

Brought to you by Business Connexion, this three-day African technology and lifestyle gathering will cover a wide spectrum of innovation discussions, products and services  from consumer to enterprise, rural communities and to the public sector. The inaugural 2014 event featured 44 thought leaders across all sectors, with 41 exhibitors and over 4400 attendees. This year’s lineup is expected to attract over 30 speakers, as well as more than 50 exhibitors and visitors who are expected to surpass 5000.

My World of Tomorrow has a long-term goal to create a movement where African people can share and discover solutions to unique everyday problems they experience. It allows the continent to converge and encourage dialogue between diverse audiences with the same outcome – a positive contribution to our future through technological innovation.

There will be four main zones for visitors to see, interact with and learn from:

Conference Zone - This is where we unlock future stories, transformational learning and out-of-the box ideas that will shape, demonstrate and illustrate what tomorrow may bring.

Launch Pad Zone - This is an area where delegates will be able to view the latest products and services that are revolutionising our world of tomorrow. It is here that exhibitors will showcase their most cutting edge concepts. A space built for the convergence of ideas and an opportunity for delegates to let their imaginations run wild!

Exhibition Zone - Designed to showcase your technology and solutions by South Africa’s most innovative companies, these dynamic spaces allow visitors to experience the technology of tomorrow in an informative, engaging and fun way.

Connexion Zone - These collaborative spaces encourage and inspire delegates to connect, interact, network and share their experiences.
