Design Indaba 2017 is finally here! In the build-up to the three-day extravaganza of all things creative later this week – yes, that's the annual Design Indaba conference – I found out what you can expect from this year's simulcast experience. We also learn more about this year's Emerging Creatives programme, showcasing the likes of The After Skool Life founder Kgotso Letwaba, and set to take place in Cape Town, Durban and Johannesburg over the course of the Festival. If you've not yet bought your Design Indaba tickets, note that about half the conference audience are commissioners (not practitioners) of design, especially financial services companies, such as McKinsey, Accenture and Deloitte, recognising the power of design thinking to problem solve and drive innovation. We recommend you book online here, and pop into the Artscape to sort out your registration tomorrow between 9am and 5pm, to avoid a last-minute rush on the first day. We'll be sharing our favourite moments with you, so be sure to visit our Design Indaba special section for all the latest coverage. Shifting focus, Jessica Tennant finds out about Uber's new entertainment device, Hubble, from CEO Justin Duveen. He shares how the interactive aspect benefits both the rider and the advertiser, and how it's innovating in the out of home space. Click through to these and other stories set to increase your understanding of the creative entertainment industry. P.S. #ICYMI, the IAB has announced this year's Bookmark Award finalists – we're super chuffed to have two entries up for consideration! Click here to view the finalists across all categories and keep an eye out for the winners' announcement following the ceremony taking place on 16 March 2017 from 7pm at The Galleria in Sandton.
