As of right now, we generally host two or three public Suits & Sneakers events in Joburg and Cape Town each month. There are many other member only events that we host too.
Small business owners can become Suits & Sneakers members but we are also looking for a practical and cultural fit. You can click on the "Membership" link in the menu at the top of this page for more information.
Your membership fee does more than give you access to events and content. It helps fuel our mission to uplift small businesses in South Africa. It supports building clubhouses, creating resources, and helping entrepreneurs access services they usually cannot.
Yes. While our main membership is reserved for small business owners, we are building a dedicated membership for individuals who do not own a business but still want to be part of what Suits & Sneakers represents. This tier gives access to our growing library of learning content, live-streamed events, and select community perks. Non-business members do not have access to the small business community, but they can still learn, grow, and support the mission that is helping small businesses across South Africa.
Yes. Right now, Suits & Sneakers members can use both The Tryst in Johannesburg and Cape Town. In 2026, the Johannesburg clubhouse in Kramerville will be open for anyone to use the workspace section at no cost, as part of our effort to showcase what we are building. Members, however, will continue to enjoy special access to private areas and added benefits that are reserved exclusively for them. The full Cape Town clubhouse will open in April 2026, and for all of 2026 and 2027, the general public will also be able to use its workspace area for free. After this period, access to both clubhouses will return to being a member privilege.
We are generally open to speaker suggestions but we tend to have a fairly good idea of the people we wish to speak at future events. You can use the "Contact" page and share your suggestion with us.
For the last few years, we have been using Quicket as we've found them to be incredible reliable. You might also see us occasionally selling tickets through another system called Paystack. This is the African subsidiary of Stripe.
Unfortunately not. We spend a lot of time and money trying to offer an incredible experience at each of our events, which means that once someone has bought their tickets, it's their responsibility to sell them to someone else that may want to attend.
In the rare event that Suits & Sneakers event is cancelled or postponed, we will communicate this information to ticket holders as soon as possible via email and/or phone. If an event is cancelled, we will provide the option of a full refund for the cost of the ticket. If an event is postponed, we will work with you to either transfer your ticket to the new event date or issue a refund, depending on your preference. We understand that cancellations and postponements can be inconvenient and disappointing, and we will do everything we can to ensure that our customers are fully informed and supported throughout the process. If you have any questions or concerns about a cancelled or postponed event, please don't hesitate to contact our customer support team for assistance.
Yes, we offer event marketing services but we are very selective about who we work with. We have a unique advantage in that we own The Tryst, we have years of marketing experience from hosting our own events, and we have the ability to create incredibly power digital content.
