CONFERENCE FACTSHEET

18-19 AUGUST 2026 INDABA HOTEL & CONFERENCE CENTRE FOURWAYS

A premier event for networking, inspiration, and advancement in public sector growth.

The Public Sector Leaders Summit is a premier platform that celebrates the contributions of organisations and individuals, across both the public and private sectors, who continue to invest in South Africa’s growth with resilience and optimism.

At the heart of South Africa’s development lies the need for a strong social compact and meaningful public–private partnerships. This conference provides the ideal environment for engaged networking, collaboration and knowledge sharing between stakeholders who are committed to building a thriving and inclusive economy.

True to its DNA, Public Sector Leaders consistently shines a light on the outstanding work being done in government, business and civil society. Beyond celebrating milestones, it serves as a catalyst for building future-focused partnerships, mobilising investments and shaping strategies that will drive South Africa’s growth, resilience and sustainable progress.

OUR CONFERENCE

Testimonials SPEAKER 2025

This gathering was more than a summit; it was a call to action. It reminded us that true transformation is born at the intersection of purpose, partnership, and people. When the public and private sectors come together with shared intent, we unlock the kind of innovation and impact our nation so deeply needs.

Dr Rajas Pillay CEO at HRSENSE

SPONSOR 2025

Reflecting on last week’s Public Sector Leaders Summit - we were reminded that progress isn’t accidental — it’s built. Brick by brick. Thought by thought.

Partnership by partnership... we move forward, let’s keep bringing technology, innovation, and political will to the table.
