“The Black Card introduces a new standard of convenience, hospitality, and engagement, ensuring that our high-level delegates can maximise the opportunities available at the fair,” said Dr Ndebele.
The 66th edition of the ZITF will run from April 20 to 25, 2026, under the theme, “Connected Economies, Competitive Industries.”
ZITF marketing and corporate communications manager, Mr Thandolwenkosi Nkomo said the Black Card is a strategic step towards elevating the quality of onsite services while supporting high-value networking.
“Our aim is to ensure that high-level visitors can participate in ZITF 2026 with ease, comfort, and priority access. The Black Card not only enhances convenience but also supports the kind of targeted networking that drives investment, partnerships, and economic opportunities,” he said.
