The Nedlac Summit was not able to take place on 1 September due to clashes with the International Racism Conference. It will now take place on 27 October, at the Sandton Convention Centre. 

The Nedlac Summit brings together 60 representatives from each of the four Nedlac constituencies, with a further 150 invited guests, local and international, representing Parliament, NGOs, academics, labour movements in other SADC countries and foreign embassies.
