Suits & Sneakers hosts ONE event each month in Joburg with different guests who speak to different themes. The idea behind Suits & Sneakers is that these events act like informal “university” classes which hopefully help you to become a better version of yourself.
This specific event will be hosted on the evening of Tuesday, 16 September at The Tryst in Kramerville. We will also be streaming the event on the night for those that aren’t based in Johannesburg or South Africa.
WHAT IS THIS EVENT ALL ABOUT?The rise of Plato Coffee is a masterclass in rapid scale and community spirit. Founded in December 2019 by brothers Stephan and Petrus Bredell as a humble side-hustle in a container in Irene, the brand has since grown to over one hundred locations across South Africa, defying the complexities of the coffee shop market and capturing hearts with consistent quality and inviting spaces.
Join us on 16 September for an inspiring conversation with Stephan Bredell, Co-Founder and CEO of Plato Coffee, as he unpacks the entrepreneurial journey from a single café to a thriving lifestyle brand poised for endless expansion. This is a chance to learn how a clear mission combined with community-centric values can fuel extraordinary growth in just a few short years.
