iWeek, organised by the Internet Service Providers' Association of South Africa (Ispa) and UniForum SA (the co.za administrators), is the premier internet conference and exhibition in South Africa.
It is to be held this year from 2 - 4 September at The Forum at the Dimension Data Campus in Bryanston, Johannesburg.
