How do you create longevity in a business built around a sense of community? Our next set of panelists, Arlene Mulder, Sam Bendzula and Shaun Duwe are experienced ‘Community Builders’ with a creative touch. Join us for the next Inspire Session in Cape Town to find out more…

Dance, music, arts and creatively crafted code? Yes, coding can be creatively used, and at this Inspire Session, we’ve lined up one such individual with a real passion for coding creativity through education.

Joining her are two other extremely talented individuals who have seamlessly crafted businesses centred around community, using their creative passions.

All three have created successful businesses that have flourished, and continue to draw interest year after year.

Join us, as we, Discovery Business Insurance and Heavy Chef, host a fascinating evening in the company of Arlene Mulder, Sam Bendzula and Shaun Duwe on 3 December 2019 at the picturesque Workshop 17 venue in Cape Town.

Meet The Community Builders

  1. Arlene Mulder is the co-founder of tech institute, WeThinkCode_, which offers tuition-free training in software development to South African youngsters keen on developing careers in the industry between the ages of 17 and 35.

    With a love of mathematics, valuable experience in the corporate sector and a passion for solving the digital skills gap in the country, Arlene is an innovator who believes in education and creating change for the greater good. She’ll be sharing her knowledge and experience around how coding truly can be used creatively to solve many challenges affecting businesses today.

  2. Sam Bendzula is the Director of the Tankwa Karoo’s most loved event, AfrikaBurn. A popular and well attended event held annually in the Northern Cape at the end of April, AfrikaBurn brings together a sense of community with a gathering of like-minded artists, performers, musicians, and lovers of all things creative.

    The event is known to be the second largest ‘Burn-event’ in the world, and is radically inclusive for anyone to come and enjoy. Sam has crafted a wondrous way for creativity to be enjoyed with a fantastic sense of community. She will surely introduce the audience to a whole other world that opens up the mind to endless possibilities.

  3. Shaun Duwe is the Director and co-founder of ULTRA South Africa. Part of a worldwide chain of electronic music festivals, the South African events bring together around 50 000 people every year.

    A well-known DJ and music promoter, Shaun has been instrumental in bringing some of the biggest names in electronic music to the country and coordinating events where lovers of dance and sound come together. How does he do it? He may just share a secret or two at this session…
