- Event Date: 2–3 October 2026
- Venue: KwaZulu-Natal Province, South Africa
The Clevenard Media Award 2026 & Business Networking Summit will be held from 2 to 3 October 2026 in the KwaZulu-Natal Province of South Africa, a region recognised for its economic strength, cultural vibrancy, and strategic significance in African and global trade. KwaZulu-Natal’s diverse landscape—spanning tourism, business, logistics, manufacturing, and cultural heritage—makes it an ideal location for this international gathering dedicated to networking, empowerment, and cross-border collaboration.
The Clevenard event is expressly designed for professional networking and global engagement, not as a social or entertainment party. Attendees are expected to be accomplished entrepreneurs, corporate leaders, innovators, policymakers, and creators who are ready to present their work, exchange ideas, and build sustainable partnerships. While selected entertainment segments will feature, the core purpose remains business exposure, thought leadership, professional empowerment, and international connection.
Throughout the two-day Summit, participants will engage in high-level networking sessions, keynote presentations, panel discussions, and exhibitions covering trade, tourism, media, technology, investment, entrepreneurship, and global development. These sessions will open pathways for African and international markets to collaborate, share expertise, and drive economic growth. The event will also highlight outstanding achievements in various industries during the prestigious Clevenard Media Award ceremony, which honours excellence, leadership, innovation, and societal impact.
Awards categories recognise outstanding contributions in Fashion & Style, Private Companies & SMEs, Manufacturing, Marketing & Networking, Telecom & Consulting, Trade & Entrepreneurship, Beauty Industry Innovation, Cultural Influence, Community Leadership, Government Support for Arts & Youth, Media Excellence across all platforms, NGO impact, and Special Recognition & Legacy honours. These awards reflect Clevenard’s mission to uplift individuals and organisations shaping industries and communities worldwide.
Registered participants will gain access to all sessions, high-level networking opportunities, brand promotion channels, certificates of participation, media exposure through Clevenard’s global platforms, and access to international collaboration networks. Government delegates, CEOs, investors, SMEs, cultural leaders, media executives, NGOs, tourism authorities, and business innovators are all positioned to benefit immensely from this world-class gathering.
The KwaZulu-Natal edition of the Clevenard Media Award 2026 & Business Networking Summit promises a transformative experience that opens doors to economic empowerment, strategic partnerships, and global influence.
