The Tryst is a home for events, video production, content creation, knowledge and education, entertainment, and people. It’s a space but it’s also a movement. The Tryst is where sparks fly… Where companies, teams, fire-starters, rule-breakers and big thinkers host their live (and streamed) events…

It’s where magic happens in multiple creative spaces. Where ideas, messages, brands and – most importantly – relationships are activated and amplified… We give a shit. We have a go. And we never hesitate to try. People call it “the best event venue in Johannesburg” and “the coolest function space in Kramerville”. We call it home.

The Tryst is both a physical building and an intellectual and emotional HQ. It’s for bold brands, ground-breaking ideas and human connection. It’s where clever comes together: Like a Tourist, Suits & Sneakers, Small Business Showcase, Mark Sham, and more. You might say it’s like a villain’s secret lair, but without the villain. And not secret.

Mark Grobbelaar calls the massive space between being a master ninja and being completely defenseless "The Niche."

GG calls it KasiNomics, the economics of the informal sector. Instead of accepting the long-standing narrative that frames it as an “informal” or “underdeveloped” or “survivalist space, GG positions it as a profitable, thriving and diverse economic sector that is worth over a trillion rand.
