The 1st Annual Skills Development Facilitators Conference 2026
The 1st Annual SDF Conference 2026 is the premier gathering for South African Skills Development Facilitators, HR Managers, and Transformation Specialists. As we enter a new era defined by the King V Governance Code and the rapid integration of Generative AI, the role of the SDF has evolved from a compliance-driven function to a vital strategic asset. This conference serves as a high-level incubator for professionals to master the intersection of South African labor law, digital innovation, and financial accountability.
CONFERENCE OBJECTIVES
• Decipher King V: To provide a practical roadmap for transitioning from King IV to the new King V Disclosure Framework (effective Jan 2026).
• Empower through Tech: To equip SDFs with AI-driven tools for predictive skills gap analysis and automated ATR/WSP reporting.
• Drive Financial ROI: To move training metrics beyond attendance registers toward proving tangible bottom-line value to the C-Suite.
Ensure Compliance Synergy: To align B-BBEE, Employment Equity, and Skills Development into a single, cohesive organizational strategy
