The Brief

V&A Waterfront, October 2025: The venue and date for the inaugural African Boating Conference - an inspiring gathering of local and international roleplayers in the boating industry. Conference organiser and powerhouse Veda Pretorius brought on Brooke Buckland to publicise the event and secure media coverage for the exciting developments, milestones and opportunities in this often overlooked sector of the South African economy. The event also gave Brooke Buckland (and Amy Mac Iver in particular) an opportunity to put another of their skills to work – conference presenting.
