Stellenbosch Sprint 2026

The Stellenbosch Sprint will take place from 16 - 19 January 2026 in Stellenbosch, South Africa.

This is the first Stellenbosch Sprint (but not the first in South Africa).

This Sprint aims to focus on strategy and marketing, to set the clear path forward. Where better to do this, than in the Rainbow Nation, where the spirit of ubuntu reigns.

"I am because we are"

Stellenbosch is near Cape Town, and the closest airport is Cape Town International Airport. From there, take a shuttle to Stellenbosch, or Uber, or contact the organizers. Book your accommodation in central Stellenbosch - recommended between the suburb of Krigeville and Stellenbosch University. Contact the organizers if you're not sure.

A note on safety

We want you to leave our beautiful region with nothing but happy memories. To ensure a pleasurable trip, please keep in mind a few precautions that you can employ on all your travels across the world:

• Avoid walking in deserted and dark places at night.
• Never allow strangers to assist you in any way when withdrawing cash at an automated teller machine (ATM).
• At night, park in a secure and well-lit area with street guards.
• Keep photocopies of all valuable documents in a safe place.
• Don't take a taxi that you have not booked through a reputable app, or have arranged through your accommodation.
