#Trending

On Monday Bizcommunity launched its annual BizTrend report, a massive collection of industry trends for the year ahead by recognised thought leaders. This year, however, we not only covered Marketing, Media and Advertising trends, but opened up the report to all our 18 industries including Lifestyle. See below for your latest 2016 trends on fashion, film, food and travel!

In other news, Charles Siboto is greatly appreciative of JJ Abram's Star Wars: The Force Awakens and Johann M Smith is swept off his feet by Swan Lake on Ice.

In a new competition you stand the chance to win two tickets to Park Acoustics in Pretoria and the Kirstenbosch Summer Sunset Concert featuring The Soil.

Stay trendy South Africa!
