Mpumalanga Alumni Chapter: Business Networking and AGM
AlumNet
USB Alumni AGM 1 Nov Mpumalanga
USB alumni are invited to this Alumni Chapter Business Networking and AGM where Michiel Jonker, Director and Futurist in the advisory division at Grant Thornton, will talk about Geopolitical events in the world and how to make sense of them.
More about the topic:
Geopolitical events affect the world in profound ways. It is like a chess game, with a set number of possible actions to be pursued by nation states’ leaders. It is about hard realities and what states can and cannot control. The actions of major players on the world scene determine the ‘health’ of international relationships, and, without doubt, affects South Africa too.
We look forward to hosting you!

TIME: 18:00 – 21:00
