The final whistle of the 2006 FIFA World Cup in Germany signalled the start
of South Africaâs campaign to market the country for the 2010 World Cup.
The International Marketing Council of South Africa (IMC), on behalf of the
2010 National Communication Partnership Task Team, invites you to attend the
2010 National Communication Partnership conference. This is a one-day
conference aimed at mobilising all those who will be promoting South Africa
before, during and after the 2010 FIFA World Cup.
The conference will make an important contribution to the building of the
2010 national communication partnership and will be held annually.
