About this event

As we approach the end of 2026, it is worth taking a step back and asking a bigger question: what does it actually take to be ready for 2027? The pace of technological change, the rise of AI, shifting markets and changing customer expectations are creating new challenges, but also new opportunities for entrepreneurs and business owners.

The 2027 Reset is a space to reflect on the year behind us, look at what is changing around us, and think deliberately about what comes next. We will explore the ideas, technologies, opportunities and strategic decisions that could shape the year ahead, and consider what we should be doing now to enter 2027 with greater clarity, adaptability and intention.

This will be a small, short and intimate session over some food and drinks. Join us - be a part of the community and let's look at the coming new year together.

This event is hosted in partnership and collaboration with our great partners at MTN.
