Our 12th Annual South African System Dynamics Conference brought together an inspiring mix of researchers, practitioners, and students to dive deep into the power of hashtag#SystemDynamics and hashtag#SystemsThinking. Over two impactful days, we experienced thought-provoking presentations, engaging keynote speeches, hands-on workshops, and insightful discussions across industries and fields! We’re sharing a few highlights in screenshots that capture the energy, collaboration, and curiosity that made this online event truly unforgettable!
Congratulations to all our presenters and workshop participants, especially to our Best Presentation Award winners, Paulo César Anacleto Filho and Estee Vermeulen-Miltz (Ph.D)! And a special mention to Alaize Dall’Orsoletta, this year’s recipient of the 2024 Dynamic Strategies Award for her outstanding contributions to our chapter. 🏆
Heartfelt thanks to our keynote speakers Nathalie Spittler, George Papachristos, and Guilherme Gondim Pinheiro for generously sharing their expertise, and to our president and conference chair, Nalini Sooknanan Pillay Pr.Eng, PhD, for successfully organising yet another memorable conference. To the dedicated SASDC team and valued members – Rudolph Oosthuizen, Corne du Plooy, Andries Botha, Alaize Dall’Orsoletta, and YONG SEBASTIAN NYAM (PhD), who, as Nalini says, make a “small but dynamite team.” 🧨
And our gratitude goes to isee systems, inc. for their sponsorship, providing Stella Architect Workshop licences. Finally, thank you to each of you who joined us from around the world! 🌍
We look forward to continuing this journey of hashtag#learning and impact together. Stay tuned for more upcoming events and opportunities to connect with the SASDC!
