"Thanks again for the outstanding few days at the Design Indaba. Even though I only experienced part of it, I saw enough to understand what a truly spectacular event you put on every year.

"Definitely the highlight on the SA design calendar!" - Johan van Zyl, New Media Publishing
Now that the dust has begun to settle and you have had a chance to breath (I hope). I just want to convey my and our utmost thanks and hearty congratulations on what I deemed a hugely successful number 10.
This year I saw DI from another perspective and silenced in my mind some of the critics and cynics I have encountered. Your team has been outstanding and please pass on my compliments to them for making the whole event seem effortless! Design Indaba is no doubt in my mind the one and only Design platform to be partnering with. Your commitment to the growth and positioning of the design industry as a real economic force both locally and globally is commendable.
Keep it up… … the spirit is alive!

Now that the dust has settled I wanted to say how impressed I was with Indaba and how glad I am that Sunday Times (finally!) got involved. Thanks to other commitments, I unfortunately only had an opportunity to attend two of the sessions, both of which were highly worthwile.
Despite this, however, the sense of excitement around the event itself, and the buzz, were incredibly invigorating and a good networking opportunity.

Just wanted to say a special thank you for the wonderful event last week. It was super-slick and I was incredibly inspired by the content and the people I met. It was enriching on a personal level.
A special thanks to Loren for all her organisation - amazing! Thanks Again.
David
Managing Director, Enterprise IG, The Global Brand Agency- Strategy Design Engagement.
I just wanted to say thank you, for an amazing conference, probably
the best one I have attended in nearly ten years (and I attend a lot,
as you know!). Indaba is I think the outstanding conference in the
world right now, and this one was even better than before. I came
away inspired and fired up with new energy and ideas, and a very
broad smile.
Thanks also for the amazing hospitality, I had a great and relaxed
time. So necessary. Please pass on my gratitude to everyone involved
in making it happen, especially Loren who was sterling.
