The SATCC website is the major communications vehicle for the chamber with all members receiving event notices by e-mail. Reports on various topics are posted and archived on the site thus giving members access to a wide range of reports and other useful information 24-hours a day anywhere in the world.

Networking Opportunities

•  Joint   SATCC/South   African   Embassy    Networking Evenings – these are organised jointly with the South African Embassy – especially when they can coincide with visiting trade  missions. Sponsored by SATCC members,   they   provide an excellent opportunity for networking.
• Networking Evenings – sometimes combined with other chambers, are hosted at the various facilities of member companies and are open to non-members thus widening the networking base for members and providing public relations exposure for the host.

 
Business Presentations

• Briefings and Presentations – Organised for when speakers present subjects of specific interest to a small group of members or if members wish to present their company’s services.
• Special SATCC Luncheons – Subject to the availability   of   high-profile   speakers – usually Thai Ministers, senior officials or senior   executives   visiting  from  South Africa.  SATCC  Committee  Lunches  are also  held  on  a  regular  basis addressing subjects  across  a  wide  range  of  areas including Property & Infrastructure, IT & Internet, Human Resources, Insurance etc.
