On 27 November 2025, we gathered at the Sandton Convention Centre to celebrate excellence, transformation, and leadership in South Africa’s financial services sector. This year was significant as we marked the 𝟯𝟬𝘁𝗵 𝗔𝗻𝗻𝗶𝘃𝗲𝗿𝘀𝗮𝗿𝘆 𝗼𝗳 𝗔𝗕𝗦𝗜𝗣 — three decades of advancing black professionals, championing transformation, and shaping the future of our industry.

We were honoured to have Ms Tryphosa Ramano deliver a powerful and inspiring keynote address, reminding us of the importance of ethical leadership, accountability, and our collective responsibility in driving inclusive growth.
