GIBS Forum

The Gordon Institute of Business Science launched the GIBS Forum for business executives in South Africa in early 2000.

Attendees are brought together by the mutual desire to build quality business relationships, gain further understanding of the fast-paced business environment and share best practices of innovation and leadership. Regular high level functions of both a business and social nature create a productive climate for discussion and interaction.

International and local experts and business leaders have addressed members of the GIBS Forum recently. These include: Mark Lamberti; Laurie Dippenaar, CEO of FirstRand Limited; former Finance Minister Trevor Manuel; Chief Executive Brian Bruce from Murray and Roberts; Professor Michael Porter from Harvard; Jonathan Oppenheimer, Director of DB Investments; Dr Jane Goodall, founder of the Jane Goodall Institute and the world's foremost authority on chimpanzees; and many more.

GIBS Forum events are hosted in association with our media partner, Finweek.
