An expertly executed 2 000 delegate conference.

We proudly hosted the inaugural Singularity University South Africa (SUSA) Summit in August 2017, which was named one of the world’s most successful editions of SingularityU by the global Singularity University.

Mann Made oversaw every aspect of the Summit, from the ticketing and venue to the selection of exhibitors at the innovation hub. We also compiled all digital elements, provided live-broadcasting facilities, a comprehensive social media campaign and created an app with a gamification element to boost attendee participation. We have successfully hosted a vibrant SUSA Summit every year since then, including 2 wonderful virtual Summits in 2020 and 2021.

A vibrant hybrid product launch event for one of SA’s most exciting fintech companies.

We proudly hosted the Yoco Next hybrid event at The Playground in Braamfontein, downtown Johannesburg. Because Yoco is one of South Africa’s most vibrant tech businesses, they needed an event to match their energy. Mann Made handled everything from vendor management to a virtual product and collaboration launch, to the installation of the Yoco Evolution timeline wall, featuring major milestones in Yoco’s journey from 2014 - 2021.

Yoco Next saw both in-person guests and the thousands attending online enjoy our hilarious MC Donovan Goliath, a talk by Laduma Ngxokolo, founder of MAXHOSA AFRICA, and engagements with key Yoco entrepreneurs and company leadership. It was a brilliant, spirited evening of dreaming up what comes next for entrepreneurs and small business owners post-pandemic.

A successful launch event for the larger-than-life CAT mining drill.

Mann Made was thrilled to be Barloworld Equipment’s preferred supplier for the launch campaign of the brand new CAT MD6200 mining drill. We hosted this in-person launch event at Barloworld’s phenomenal Isando showroom in Johannesburg, with the larger than life drill on full display after a brief unveiling ceremony.

Mann Made transformed the showroom to bring to life an exciting event featuring the vibrant Jason Goliath as comedian host, a live saxophonist and DJ, contemporary decor with distinctive pops of yellow in a relaxed cafe-style setting, and an event stage for engagements with various Barloworld Equipment and CAT leadership.
