There is a special and renewed energy that accompanies the start of a new year and we want to make sure that 2025 is your best yet! With this in mind, Suits & Sneakers is hosting our 7th edition of RISE where where we quiz some really smart people on the tips and tricks we can use to knock 2025 out of the park!

More than anything, we want to ignite a conversation around growth, and we also want to facilitate human connection by gathering like-minded individuals who want to grow personally and professionally.

RISE will be taking place on the evening of Wednesday, 29 January 2025 at The Tryst. We will also be streaming the event on the night for those that aren’t based in Joburg or South Africa.

WHO ARE THE SPEAKERS AND WHAT WILL THEY BE SPEAKING ABOUT?

At the beginning of every year when we host RISE, we always try focus on topics that are incredibly relevant at the time. This year, we have asked Erik Kruger to join us on stage to present his brand new talk called “The End of Certainty and What To Do About It.”

WHAT IS THIS KEYNOTE ABOUT?

Remember when success meant having the right answers? When being certain was a strength, not a weakness? Those days are over.

In today’s world, the people and organisations clinging to certainty are the ones being left behind. The future belongs to those who can navigate uncertainty with confidence, move through chaos with grace, and find opportunity where others see only threat.

Discover how to turn the end of certainty from your biggest challenge into your greatest advantage.

Learn the three essential capabilities that separate those who thrive in uncertainty from those who get lost in it. And find out why some people are turning this moment of unprecedented change into their defining opportunity. Whether you’re facing industry disruption, career transitions, or personal transformation, this talk reveals how to navigate a world where the only certainty is change itself.
