Preparing for life beyond Earth might seem worlds away from agriculture.

But the questions are surprisingly similar.

How do we build resilient systems?
How do we use limited resources wisely?
How do we innovate without losing sight of what makes us human?

We're honoured to welcome Dr Adriana Marais as the final Conversation Leader in our Programme Reveal series.

A theoretical physicist, future strategist and founder of Proudly Human, Adriana is leading some of Africa's most ambitious scientific initiatives, including the Africa2Moon Project—the continent's first lunar mission. Her work explores how science, innovation and human ingenuity can help us prepare for extreme environments, both on Earth and beyond.

In her conversation, she'll challenge us to think beyond today's limitations and consider how curiosity, courage and collaboration can help shape a better future.

This isn't simply a conversation about space. 𝙄𝒕'𝒔 𝒂 𝒄𝙤𝒏𝙫𝒆𝙧𝒔𝙖𝒕𝙞𝒐𝙣 𝙖𝒃𝙤𝒖𝙩 𝙥𝒐𝙨𝒔𝙞𝒃𝙞𝒍𝙞𝒕𝙮.

Every organisation will face uncertainty.

Whether it's market disruption, disease outbreaks, economic pressure or unexpected change, leadership is ultimately measured not by the challenges we face—but by how we respond to them.

We're honoured to welcome Siphiwe Moyo as one of our Conversation Leaders at the SAPPO AGM & Expo 2026.

A Southern African Speaker Hall of Fame inductee, bestselling author and Executive Director of the Organisational Behaviour Institute, Siphiwe has spent his career helping leaders build resilient organisations, strengthen workplace cultures and unlock the potential of their people.

In his conversation, he'll share practical insights into how leaders can navigate uncertainty with confidence, communicate with purpose and inspire teams when it matters most.

Because in challenging times, people don't simply look for answers.

They look for leadership.

Every leader faces moments that define them.
Not when everything is going according to plan—but when circumstances change, difficult decisions need to be made, and people look to them for direction.

That's why we've chosen to conclude the SAPPO AGM & Expo 2026 with a session dedicated to 𝙇𝙚𝙖𝙙𝙚𝙧𝙨𝙝𝙞𝙥 𝙞𝙣 𝙖𝙘𝙩𝙞𝙤𝙣 – 𝙏𝙝𝙚 𝙝𝙪𝙢𝙖𝙣 𝙨𝙞𝙙𝙚 𝙤𝙛 𝙨𝙩𝙚𝙬𝙖𝙧𝙙𝙨𝙝𝙞𝙥.

This final session explores two powerful conversations that challenge us to think beyond today's challenges and towards tomorrow's possibilities.

We are proud that this session is sponsored by Nedbank, whose commitment to developing resilient businesses and strong leadership aligns perfectly with its purpose.

Over the next two days, we'll introduce the Conversation Leaders behind these inspiring discussions.
