Building on the economic growth conversations from reSURGEnce Durban, scheduled for October 24–28 in South Africa, the New York gathering will share insights, strengthen connections, and consider next steps for collaboration. The Durban program will explore investment, trade, technology, real estate, the creative economy, and entrepreneurship.
For business owners, the conference offers opportunities to learn about cross-border business, explore potential collaborators, and prepare for opportunities in new markets. Participants interested in Africa can explore engagement pathways, while African entrepreneurs can connect with the initiative’s broader focus on access to U.S. and international markets. Durban registration has closed; the New York conference offers another opportunity to participate in reSURGEnce’s global mission.
