A room curated for action. A conversation open to the world.
Creative Cnergy 2026 is not designed as a large public conference. It is a curated room of roughly 200+ delegates — people with the power, influence, capital, policy mandate or industry expertise to move South Africa’s creative economy forward. The objective isn’t simply to talk about the creative economy; it’s to bring the right people together to confront real barriers to growth and identify practical opportunities in policy, investment, market access and industry development.
Creative Cnergy 2026 builds on the success of the inaugural Creative Cnergy Investment Symposium, which convened government, investors, creatives, and industry leaders to unlock growth in South Africa’s creative economy.
In 2025, Creative Cnergy successfully: Convened three national government departments and the City of Johannesburg. Influenced policy alignment and sector-wide commitments. Attracted leading sponsors and media partners Delivered measurable outcomes beyond the event In 2026, under the theme “Aligned for Impact,” Creative Cnergy evolves from a conference into a strategic platform for sector activation, offering partners deeper alignment, experiential engagement, and measurable returns.
