The PSG Think Big webinar series features some of South Africa’s sharpest minds and most passionate voices.
This week’s session featured aviation expert and editor of SA Flyer magazine, Guy Leitch. He discussed where SAA is going (that it could be profitable again, given the right changes), what those changes are, and where to next for business travellers in light of Covid-19.
The previous week, investigative journalist Jacques Pauw set tongues wagging with his revelations about the illicit tobacco trade.
Next week’s free webinar session features ex-Springbok coach, Nick Mallett
, who will be sharing his thoughts on where the sport is going, given the current pandemic. Kick-off is at 9am on Tuesday but those who can’t join live can always catch the replay.
“Feedback received on the quality of content from viewers of the series has been positive to date,” says Tracy Hirst, Chief Marketing Officer of PSG, “and highlights the value of open and honest discussions. Looking beyond the moment requires access to expert opinion, and we have created the platform to share these insights as widely as possible.”
The host of the series is Bruce Whitfield, whose award-winning style of journalism allows him to generate fascinating discussions. He says that “It’s not every day you get one-on-one time with some of the most remarkable people in their fields and get to learn more about them, what they do and why they do it. I feel so privileged to be tapping into some of the country’s sharpest minds and look forward to sharing those conversations with you.”
PSG has confirmed they will delve into more detail on the future of financial and property markets, the medical space, the outlook for the country’s struggling entrepreneurs and even South African cricket, to highlight just a few of the upcoming topics they are planning to add to the Think Big webinar series.
