A brunch, a conversation, and a room full of women shaping creative industries.

Canapés, Conversations & Connections
Presented by Sony Alpha × ORMS
Sunday, 30 August 2026 | Cape Town

To close out Women’s Month, Sony Alpha and ORMS invite you to Canapés, Conversations & Connections, a brunch gathering bringing together women from across creative, business and culture.

It’s a chance to step away from the day-to-day, meet women doing interesting work, and have the conversations we often don’t make enough time for.

Hosted by Nelisiwe Mwase, the morning centres on an open conversation about careers, growth, change and what comes next. Our guests will share the experiences that have shaped them, the lessons they have picked up along the way, and how they continue to evolve in their work.

Expect honest stories, fresh perspectives and plenty of opportunity to connect.
