Rescheduling will allow attendees to participate in South Africa’s elections
According to reports, the event will take place in Sandton City. The rescheduling had to be done in order to avoid conflicts with the established election period. This way, it will allow all participants to attend the event and still have the time and opportunity to exercise their civic duties in South Africa.
Finance Magnates’ CEO, Michael Greenberg, said that this decision is in the best interest of sponsors, speakers, exhibitors, and attendees themselves.
He explained that the rescheduling would ensure that the show could proceed at full capacity with no limitations, “guaranteeing your planned participation and experience and allowing our attendees to fulfill their civic responsibilities.”

The event has been quite hyped up over the past several months, as it intends to bridge the B2B and B2C space. At the same time, it would promote networking and connections between local and regional providers, as well as brands, global brokers, and others.
Currently in its second year, FMAS:24 is one of the largest events of this kind on the entire African continent. It is expected to have massive attendance, including both the visitors and leading talents. On top of that, it is also expected to see some of the biggest-name experts from all corners of the world.
