On 30 September 2021, stakeholders from the Events, Technical & Production Services Sector (ETPS) were invited to finalisation of the Sector Transformation B-BBEE Code, by attending one of 5 webinars.
The webinars were led by a panel of sector experts who have been configured as the Events Technical and Production Transformation Forum (ETPTF).
The ETPTF was initially formally established by the Minister of Trade and Industry to further the objectives of transformation within the Events Technical and Production Services Sector.
