Human Centric AI

You're invited to celebrate 40 years of BTS - and the beginning of a new chapter for BTS Africa.
From 16:00 • 3 hours, including drinks reception
The Grillhouse, Sandton, Johannesburg

We're delighted to invite you to join us as we celebrate BTS's 40th anniversary and the opening of our new Africa office in Sandton.

This is an opportunity for us to pause and celebrate the journey so far, and to thank you for your partnership, trust and support. We're bringing together some of our closest clients and partners for a warm and authentic evening of connection, conversation and celebration.

As we look to the future, we'll also explore a question that is shaping organisations, leaders and the world of work:

THE HUMAN EDGE:

Strategy made personal in a human-led, AI-augmented world.

AI investment is everywhere. AI impact is not. Join AI investor Willem van der Post and Capitec's Rizwana Butler, CHRO, and Basani Maluleke, Group Executive: Retail Bank, as they debate where competitive advantage really lives, now that every business has access to the same algorithms.

This is not just a panel discussion.

We'd love for you to be part of the conversation, and to celebrate this milestone with us.

Locations & Details


We invite you to arrive around 16:00pm for a drinks reception at The Grillhouse, Sandton.

After which, you'll get a tour of our new office in the building, and then we will move to The Forum, Alice Lane for the Panel Discussion: Human Centric AI
