"With so many brands expressing a desire to get to know the youth market in South Africa, we have created an opportunity for them to see the world through students' eyes. We've handpicked some of the most influential and outspoken students that get the market, to give insights that one would simply not be able to extract from research," said Marc Kornberger, Director and Co-Founder of Student Village.
Y!CON 2016 will offer a combo of facts, research and students sharing their personal stories to let brands into the heart and minds of the youth market. Ronen Aires, CEO of Student Village will also be presenting the research report on Afrillennials that focusses on successful integration and retention of graduates in the workplace, as well as unpacking how they fit within brands' framework.
