Alec Hogg: We've now had six BizNews conferences: BNC one, two, three, four, five, six, the most recent in March, middle of March in Hermanus, where we had 500 delegates and 28 keynote speakers, amongst them, GG Alcock, who's going to be coming with us to London. We are taking the BizNews conference concept to the South African community in London, our tribe members all over the world, but many of them in London.

Alec Hogg: And he'll be also, well, one of the other seven keynote speakers is, my old friend and the founder of Alvest Warren Wheatley. Now I've asked the two of them because the concept that they're talking about is very aligned to just, join me today and have a little chat about what the audience in London can get to see.

Alec Hogg: And guys, just you don't really need an introduction to the BizNews community, but, I think you're going to be blown away by the people who will be in the audience in London. We've got the top team of Nedbank, London, Stone Hague, which is one of the big asset, private wealth companies, Vitality, you know, the certainly the most successful international company, from a South African business.

Alec Hogg: It's a big offshoot of discovery. Lord Peter Hain will be there. Two other lords as well. what I found quite funny was that Peter Hain was the anti-apartheid activist for the Springbok rugby tour, in which Tommy Bedford, one of my boyhood heroes, was the vice-captain. And it's probably before your time, but both of those guys are going to be in the audience, Peter Hain and Tommy Bedford.
