Closing the Year with Purpose, Momentum & Global Impact

Looking Back: A Momentous November in Focus

As 2025 draws to a close, The Exhibitionist Group is proud to reflect on a landmark moment for South Africa and for our nation’s creative and business-events industry. Hosting the G20 underlines our country’s growing influence on the global stage, and for us, it’s a powerful reminder of how exhibitions, activations, and strategic branding can amplify global conversations.

• G20 Social Summit (18–20 Nov): South Africa is convening its Social Summit under the theme Solidarity, Equality & Sustainability, spotlighting inclusion, grassroots voices, and long-term social development.

• Business & Economic Diplomacy: The B20 Summit, running concurrently, is bringing together global business leaders to drive proposals around inclusive growth and shared prosperity.

• Economic Momentum: Gauteng alone is projected to benefit from a R3.6 billion economic uptick, driven by event-related infrastructure, hospitality, logistics, and procurement.

• Tourism & MICE Growth: The G20 spotlight is boosting South Africa’s appeal as a global business and event destination supporting local small businesses, boosting hotel occupancy, and reinforcing our strength in the MICE (Meetings, Incentives, Conferences, Exhibitions) industry.

• Global Leadership with Purpose: South Africa’s G20 Presidency is more than symbolic it’s about driving a values-based approach to diplomacy including equitable development, climate justice, and inclusive economies.

Year-End — Why Now Is the Time to Partner with Us

With the year closing, many organisations are making final strategic moves planning year-end activations, events, exhibitions, and stakeholder gatherings. Here’s how The Exhibitionist Group can help you maximise this momentum:

1. Exhibition & Activation Excellence

• Our THE EXHIBITIONIST division designs and builds modular, high-impact exhibition stands. Whether for high-profile global summits or local corporate events, our build quality and creativity bring your brand story to life.

• We’re expert at fast turnarounds  ideal for last-quarter activations where speed and impact matter.

2. Strategic Signage & Wayfinding

• POWERHOUSE PLC delivers signage that works day and night: from pylons, lightboxes, to directional systems. Ideal for corporate year-end events, open houses, or even holiday-themed experiential spaces.

• Our team ensures brand visibility is consistent, prominent, and flexible helping clients make a statement.

3. Experiential & Meaningful Events

• YOURS EVENTFULLY curates fully custom gifting, activations, and event design aligning with your brand’s purpose and your year-end goals (celebration, gratitude, employee recognition, or customer engagement).

• We focus on “meaning over flash”: memorable experiences that build real emotional connection.

Community Impact & Sustainability

As always, our commitment to sustainability and social impact runs deep:

• Material Repurposing: Wherever possible, exhibition material from large events is repurposed or donated to community projects and under-resourced schools, reducing waste and uplifting local communities.

• Economic Inclusion: We prioritise working with SMMEs, local suppliers, and event partners especially now, when the boost from global and national summits is stimulating local economies.
