GO 2022 is the best way to network and connect with higher education buyers and decision-makers from almost every South African university and TVET college.
Collaboration in the business place is nothing new and the benefits are well known. PURCO SA has a long and sustained track record in delivering collaborative value to their member institutions and contracted suppliers.
The GO 2022 theme is strongly reflected in the conference logo. Collaboration between the trio of PURCO SA, its Member institutions and Suppliers is represented by the interplay of the three colours and three lines of the logo, connecting and reinforcing each other to form a meaningful, more successful whole.
The individual letters are indicative of the uniqueness and independence of the constituents that comprise the PURCO SA community, with the rows touching to reinforce how contact and connections create greater significance. The elements combine into a strong, forward-leaning progressive whole while the lettering extends beyond the borders to reflect the importance of out the box innovation.
Some of the biggest challenges shared by higher education institutions and their business partners involve complex problems related to information, knowledge, resources and bottom-line performance.
In this financially pressured world the conference aims to use the benefits of collaboration to build profitable relationships and share solutions.
GO 2022 is designed to bolster the contacts, relationships, tools and knowledge needed to thrive in this intense, increasingly competitive environment.
GO 2022 aims to be a catalyst to more effective, engaged, informed, e-literate, innovative - and more profitable - higher education partners.
GO 2022 proffers a programme premised on collaborative mutual benefit between member institutions, between buyers and sellers, and between PURCO SA and its constituents.
