“The theme for this month is ‘It’s an Augmented World’,” says Zaida Salie, Senior Vice President of Operations at Incubeta Group. “Our Online Tuesday events have gained substantial traction over the past year, with the Cape Town leg (on the 11th) already sold out.
"Tickets for Joburg (18 October) are going really fast – and are free, of course... so I urge anyone interested in augmented, virtual and mixed reality to book their seats as soon as possible.”

Guests and presenters in the Mother City are as follows: Johan Walters, from Clicks2Customers’ Innovation hub, will discuss developments in AR and VR that go way beyond the realms of Pokémon Go.
Werner Uys, Managing Director at Lucan – a design, animation and film studio in Cape Town - will co-present with his Creative Director, Wian van Bergen, on the topic of VR's integration into traditional workflows.
And then, of course, for some added humour and oomph to the evening, local comedian and Good Hope FM Sports Presenter, Dalin Oliver, will MC affairs.

About Online Tuesday
Online Tuesday had its genesis in Amsterdam in 2010, organised by Marketingfacts, NewPeople, Traffic4u, PostNL and DQ&A Media Group. It is an event that takes place every second Tuesday of the month in Amsterdam. During these events (attended by 150,250 people to date), a specific digital marketing topic is discussed. The goal of Online Tuesday is to share, not only practical experience in the form of case studies, but also visionary ideas about the future of digital advertising.
