The Black Management Forum (BMF) will host its annual conference in November 2024, bringing together industry leaders, government officials, and thought leaders. This year’s theme, “Accelerating Social Transformation – The New Black Economic Agenda,” addresses the challenges and opportunities for creating an inclusive economy where black leadership thrives.

Marking 30 years since South Africa’s democratic transition, the conference will reflect on progress made and the work ahead in fostering a non-racist, non-sexist society. It will serve as a launchpad for actionable dialogue on critical issues, including economic participation, inclusive workplaces, the state of BBB-EE, and the role of state-owned enterprises post-election.

With the global economy in focus, the event will also assess the impact of international trends on South Africa’s transformation agenda and the relevance of the upcoming G20 summit for the black economic agenda. The conference will challenge conventions and offer a roadmap for BMF’s future, setting the course for the next 50 years of black excellence.
