We want to extend our heartfelt gratitude to everyone who joined us at the Professor Phinias Makhurane Technovation Centre, for an incredibly insightful and thought-provoking Marketers Day Public Lecture with the Zimbabwe International Trade Fair Company ZITF CEO Dr. Nicholas Ndebele as our esteemed keynote speaker.

Dr Ndebele delivered a masterclass on the central theme: "Practical Strategies For Success in Zimbabwe's Dynamic Marketplace in the Marketing AI ERA." where he expertly dissected how artificial intelligence is transforming consumer behaviours, automation, and brand strategy, leaving our attendees with actionable blueprints to thrive in today's rapidly changing economic landscape.

The event brought together students, academics and industry leaders to explore the future of marketing in the age of Artificial Intelligence. From automating routine tasks to protecting truth, privacy and human dignity, the message was clear that AI may enhance our capabilities but human intelligence, empathy and culture remain at the heart of effective marketing.

Companies including Clover Leaf, Bakers Inn, Cospharm Group, NBS and Stonebridge Real Estate also presented their practical marketing solutions. The event concluded with excellent conversations and networking opportunities that sparked vital conversations between industry leaders, professionals, and students.
