Join us at our inaugural Scale Summit in partnership with Pay@ and Smile Identity from 13 to 14 October 2022. Designed to bring together leading enterprise and scale-up businesses in South Africa to network and share insights on ways to effectively scale in a quickly-growing digital market, the summit’s theme focuses on how businesses at the point of scale can optimise money movement for long-term growth.


The event will be free for 150-200 attendees, featuring medium and large businesses with a digital presence operating in South Africa, and the partners and services they rely on. We'll kick off with a VIP happy hour on 13 October at the Stitch office and enjoy a full day of content on 14 October.
