February 2023, Johannesburg – Showbiz Entertainment Africa (SEAfrica) conference, now a hybrid experience, is the only event in Africa dedicated to the development and growth of the entertainment industry across creative disciplines. With exhibitions, workshops and networking sessions it is the ultimate business meeting place for talent, managers, entrepreneurs, business, students and other role players in the entertainment industry to stay ahead of the dynamic and ever changing industry.
This year, the organisation will see two conferences, with the first conference focused specifically on meeting the information needs of a youthful audience; fostering career development in the creative industries; highlighting the career opportunities behind the scenes in the world of entertainment. As always, conference attendees and streamers can expect first-hand testimonies from people who have walked the talk and stood the test of time in the industry.
Co-hosted with Ghana, the event will be MC’d by Ghana’s celebrated media personality AJ Akuoko-Sarpong. The speaker line-up includes a session on “The Evolution of Artist Publicity Management” by celebrity publicist Sheila Afrari; musician and activist Nomsa Mazwai will lead a session titled “Creativity is Not Enough” and podcast industrialist Gavin Kennedy will host a session titled “To Be Understood You Must First #BeHeard” to name a few.
