The Association for Communication and Advertising (ACA) has announced that the 2017 APEX awards events will be hosted in The Pavillion at The Sandton Convention Centre and not at The Galleria as originally communicated. The Masterclass and Awards Ceremony events will go ahead as scheduled on the 6 July 2017. Times for both events remain the same. Nothing except the venue has changed.
“The ACA thanks our key partners, sponsors and contributing companies for the collaboration and support provided to the APEX awards. Without their participation, staging the events and providing much needed bursaries would not be possible. We thank all involved and look forward to a long and mutually beneficial partnership going forward,” says Odette van der Haar, CEO ACA.
