Counder Conference is curated — five days in Cape Town, held to 500 Counder members, by invitation or application. Counder & Friends brings together a wider circle — partner-hosted events and a celebration on the final day of the conference.
Counder Conference is invite-only and built around the unconference format, held to a maximum of 500 Counder members. The perfect scale for people to shape the programme, the discussions, and genuinely get to know each other. Each year, we accept a small number of self-applications to join as Mission Partners.
