This August in Cape Town, the Festival of Eventing makes its groundbreaking debut, a first of its kind, Africa-centric gathering set to unite, upskill, and inspire professionals across the eventing ecosystem. Held at the cutting-edge Century City Conference Centre, this two-day festival will draw over 1,000 attendees, offering hands-on insights, global trends, and a celebration of connection.

Founded by event industry veterans Devi Paulsen-Abbott, Betty Sichivula, and Keshni Reddy, the festival is built to elevate those who often “fall into” the events industry, by giving them a platform for training, networking, and growth. Phemelo speaks to Co-founder of the Festival of Eventing, Keshni Reddy about the events scene rising in Africa.
