Eskom’s de Ruyter and Absa’s Lucas-Bull to headline The Directors Event in October

12 October, 2020

Johannesburg, 3 September 2020: Eskom CEO, Andre de Ruyter, and Chairman of the Absa Group, Wendy Lucas-Bull, will be headline speakers at the 6th edition of The Directors Event, to be streamed online on 20 October this year.

Billed as ‘SA’s biggest board meeting’, The Directors Event – futured by BCX and presented in association with the Institute of Directors in South Africa (IoDSA) – forms part of the Sunday Times Top 100 Companies profile. It is where senior management and C-level executives in South Africa’s business community come together to unpack major issues affecting the country’s economy.

The theme for this year’s conference is Building a sustainable new normal. High profile participants in three panel discussions will debate the revival of the South African economy, skills development and job creation on the back of 4IR, and the management of climate change to support the country in becoming self-sufficient.

The Directors Event will commence with de Ruyter’s keynote address live from Eskom, followed by Lucas-Bull’s delivery of the annual Chairman’s Report. Previous headline speakers have included South Africa’s Chief Justice, Mogoeng Mogoeng, Nhlanhla Nene (former Finance Minister), Jabu Mabuza (former Chairman, Eskom and Telkom), Caroline Galvan (Lead Economist, World Economic Forum), and Mcebisi Jonas (former Deputy Minister of Finance), amongst others.
