Sometimes I also speak.

One of my personal goals for 2014 was: “Get over yourself and public speaking”.

And, if I know anything about myself, it’s that the only way out is through. So, I’ll be doing 2 public speaking gigs during June. I am extremely honoured that the organisers of each event invited me to speak. That kind of opportunity does not come by my desk every day, and I’m stoked to be sharing the stage at each event with some very big brains I hold in high regard.

Coming up first, is the Durban, Mobile, Digital and Social Media Workshop. The lovely, superstar folks of Always Active Mobile (a division of AAT) are hosting a workshop specifically designed for brand and marketing managers.
The workshop brings together industry leaders that will cover the mobile and digital marketing landscape in South Africa, including the latest AMPS stats  provided by the Mobile Marketing Association; digital content marketing; digital best practices & communities and digital innovation in Africa. Speakers for the day include myself, Alan Haarhoff of AAT; Barry Tuck of Paton Tupper Digital and Jonathan Darker. I can’t wait to hear their insights on our online world! You can catch more details on this event here. Registration is essential so you can book your space here. At time of writing, there were just 35 spaces left!

And then, coming up on the 28th of June, SABloggers are hosting their very first #WBFLLearn Workshop in Durban. Tickets are selling pretty quickly for this one so, check if you can still grab one here. The brains behind SABloggers, Sandy Nene is whirlwind of passion and wit, and has put together quite an exciting programme for those of us who share our lives online. Again, I’ll be sharing the stage with a number of fantastic speakers and cannot wait to hear their stories!

And, for five lucky people who book their space for the #WBFLLearn workshop super-quick, they’ll get a discount on their tickets, if they use the following code: CathJenkin. So book your tickets here and remember, that code is only valid for the first 5 people who use it!

I’m incredibly excited and honoured to be a part of both these events coming up, in Durban in June. If you can make it to either of them, don’t forget to book your space! See you there 🙂
