We're looking forward to the UP Honours Industry Day, taking place tomorrow at Rautenbach Hall. This year’s theme is: “Responsible Use of AI: Bridging Industry Practice & Academic Responsibility.” The central panel discussion will explore responsible AI use in both industry and academic settings, with a focus on practical insights, governance considerations, and shared accountability. We're looking forward to joining in what we're sure will be a great day!

DevDay 2026 begins tomorrow. Twice a year, our global team connects for a day that's more than just a conference. DevDay is our platform for Entelectuals to step into the spotlight – presenting technical breakthroughs, sharing passion projects, and showcasing the work that excites them most. It's where we invest in professional development, from honing presentation skills to learning from peers across offices and time zones. It's where ideas cross-pollinate, connections deepen, and our culture comes alive. One day dedicated to our people, their growth, and the collaborative spirit that drives innovation.
