It’s been another big year at ExpoGuys. Sixteen years in, we’re still growing, still learning and, probably most importantly, still finding new ways to keep ourselves busy!
What started as an exhibition stand company has developed into something much broader. We’re now involved in everything from major exhibitions and custom stands to activations, corporate events and large-scale event infrastructure. Our Cape Town operation has also grown significantly, giving us a stronger footprint in the Western Cape and allowing us to service more of our clients locally.
It’s also been a rewarding year from an industry recognition perspective. Our ongoing focus on sustainability saw us recognised at the AAXO ROAR Awards, followed by Gold for Best Large Green Stand at the 2026 EXSA-llence Awards. We’re proud of the recognition, but for us sustainability is about more than awards. It’s about finding better ways to design, build, reuse and ultimately reduce the amount of waste our industry produces.
The projects are getting bigger and more diverse too. Later this year, ExpoGuys will be involved in the IEC National Results Operations Centre, adding another very different type of project to our growing portfolio. It’s a good example of how the skills, people, and infrastructure we have developed in the exhibition industry can be applied well beyond the traditional exhibition floor.
And that’s probably what keeps things interesting for us. We don’t want to just keep doing things the way they’ve always been done. In a world where so much happens on a screen, creating a physical experience that makes people stop, engage, and remember something is becoming even more important.
Sixteen years on, we’re still pushing, still experimenting, and still looking for the next challenge. And we’re pretty sure there are plenty more to come.
Comic Con Africa with Capitec brings both local and international celebrities to the Johannesburg Highveld. The con takes place from Thursday 24 to Sunday 27 September (the Heritage Day long weekend) from 9am to 6pm daily. Here is a recap of all the epic actors and voice actors from the best games, films, and series shows the world has to offer – including the days they’ll be at the con, and more information on how fans could even get the chance to meet them personally and have them sign memorabilia.
Activities With the Stars
Celebs at Comic Con Africa offer multiple exciting activities at the con.
For all con-goers:
Live sessions on stage: on each day that the celebs are at the con, they take place in live interviews and Q&A sessions on the Main Stage. During these sessions, a Comic Con host chats to the celeb about their careers and experiences behind-the-scenes, and then fans are invited to personally ask their questions which the star answers live on stage. It is an opportunity for a few lucky fans themselves to ask burning questions about their performances, careers, shows, and films. That means that if you get a turn on the mic, your favourite celeb will hear you ask the question yourself! Get to the stage early to secure your space. This chance is open to all con attendees.
Limited opportunities with additional ticket purchases (available on Howler):
Photograph opportunities: with an additional ticket purchase, a Photo Op secures fans a photograph with the celeb. A professional photographer shoots the photograph with studio lighting, which is then printed with high quality printers on site. The photo is also provided as a digital copy.
Autograph sessions: with an additional ticket purchase, con-goers are able to spend a couple of minutes in person with the actor of their choice in an Autograph Opportunity. They can bring their own personal show memorabilia that the celeb will sign, or the con offers professional photos of the celeb for the fan to have signed and take home. Autograph sessions are slightly longer than photo ops.
Here are all the talent that con-goers can see at Comic Con Africa 2026.

The successful delivery of the 46th Southern African Development Community (SADC) Summit in Durban marked the culmination of an extensive programme of regional engagements that brought together leaders, policymakers, business representatives and development partners from across Southern Africa.
Working in partnership with the Durban International Convention Centre (Durban ICC), GL events South Africa served as the principal infrastructure supplier for the full programme of SADC-related events, providing the environments in which critical conversations around regional integration, industrialisation, trade, investment and economic development took place.
The programme extended well beyond the Summit itself, encompassing ministerial meetings, bilateral engagements, industry forums, networking events, gala functions, holding rooms and large-scale plenary sessions. One of the key engagements was SADC Industrialisation Week, which brought together public and private sector stakeholders to explore opportunities for economic growth and regional collaboration.
Delivering infrastructure across a programme of this scale required months of planning, coordination and execution. From venue design and production to logistics, build-outs and stakeholder management, every aspect of the project was carefully managed to ensure a seamless experience for the thousands of delegates, dignitaries and officials who participated.
The project was led by GL events South Africa Chief Operating Officer, Victor Besa, whose team oversaw the delivery of multiple event environments throughout the programme. Reflecting on the experience, Besa noted that events of this scale are a true test of operational excellence, requiring every element to come together seamlessly while maintaining the highest standards of delivery.
While attendees experienced polished, fully operational venues, the project highlighted the often unseen expertise required to stage events of national and regional significance. Every space was designed to facilitate meaningful engagement while meeting the complex practical requirements of a multi-event programme involving numerous stakeholders, security protocols and operational considerations.
For GL events South Africa, participation in the SADC Summit programme represented more than a large-scale event delivery. It demonstrated the role that professional event infrastructure providers play in enabling meaningful dialogue and collaboration across the region. The successful execution of the programme reinforced the value of strong partnerships, meticulous planning and the collective effort of the many professionals working behind the scenes to bring major events to life.

In an era where sustainability has become a non-negotiable in business practices, ExpoGuys has taken a pioneering step in the exhibition industry with the launch of its Sustainable Stand Grading System. The initiative reflects the company’s ongoing commitment to reducing its environmental footprint while setting a new standard for sustainable practices in stand-building and event services.
Defining Sustainability in the Exhibition Industry
Sustainability can vary significantly across industries, and what’s deemed sustainable for one may not apply to another. ExpoGuys Directors John Webb & Pat Cronning underscores this complexity:
“Sustainability is not a one-size-fits-all concept. For us, it means operating in a way that minimises environmental impact across every facet of our business. We aren’t perfect, but we are passionate about doing everything in our power to reduce our carbon footprint.”
ExpoGuys’ approach emphasises incremental, collective contributions to sustainability. By continuously refining processes, educating staff, and engaging clients, the company strives to make sustainability an integral part of its operations.
Sustainability Grading System: Raising Awareness and Accountability
The highlight of ExpoGuys’ sustainability efforts is its Sustainable Stand Grading System, an innovative way to evaluate and communicate the environmental impact of exhibition stands. Each stand is assessed across multiple criteria, including flooring, structure, lighting, branding, and furniture. Materials are graded based on their sustainability, with the overall stand receiving a Gold, Silver, or Platinum certification.
For instance:
Flooring options like carpet tiles and rubber mats, which can be reused for multiple events, receive the highest scores.
LED lighting and modular structures contribute significantly to higher sustainability grades.
“This system not only raises awareness among clients but also challenges our designers and sales staff to think sustainably throughout the design and build process,” Pooja Patel and Lindsay Milazi, two of our senior designers notes. “It’s not an exact science, but it’s a step in the right direction.”
The grading system also serves as an educational tool for clients, helping them understand the long-term cost-effectiveness and environmental benefits of sustainable stand choices. Clients receive a certificate with a scorecard detailing the sustainability elements of their stand, reinforcing the importance of eco-friendly practices.
Electrical Energy Efficiency and Climate-Friendly Rentals
ExpoGuys’ sustainability initiatives extend to its electrical and climate control hire services:
Energy-Efficient Lighting: The use of LED technology reduces electricity consumption at events.
Reusable Cables: Electrical equipment is designed for repeated use, minimizing waste.
Eco-Friendly Cooling and Heating: Low-consumption evaporative coolers and infrared heaters are offered as alternatives to traditional HVAC systems.
Solar: Our production and offices are 75% solar powered.
We will elaborate further on our efforts to make our business more sustainable.
