11 - 13 March 2025

The Maslow, Sandton

Marketing Café is a unique environment for marketing experts to connect, share ideas and learn from thought leaders in the industry in a cozy café style setting.

Over freshly brewed coffee and baked goods, we’ll engage in meaningful conversations on the most relevant and trending topics in the industry that affect you and your business, giving you insights and knowledge to advance your marketing skills and stir up some fresh ideas to implement in your company.

We hosted two amazing events in 2024, one in Joburg and one in Cape Town, and after many coffees, cookies, and chats on comfy couches, we knew we had to bring this one of a kind experience for top marketers back to Joburg in March 2025! 

You can expect the same high-quality speakers, content and experience, this time with a focus day dedicated to customer experience: CX-360, and for the first time ever, two in-depth workshops.
