JOHANNESBURG, South Africa – Brenda Caplen, formerly of Evaluate Interactive Event Systems and Conference Communications, has joined newly-formed ICT solutions provider Gearhouse ICS. ICS offers conference and event services.
Caplen’s 17 years of experience in the Southern African conference and events industry through its busiest and most prolific period – gained on sizeable projects such as the World Parks Summit, World Summit on Sustainable Development and 18th World Petroleum Congress – is proving an invaluable addition to the ICS team. She joins Thabiet Waggie, Ashraf Omar, Ofer Lapid and Nasser Abbas as Director and handles the Johannesburg operation.
“In Thabiet, I saw the opportunity to get involved with someone with the same business approach and beliefs as myself,” she explains. “We had already been collaborating on a number of jobs informally and with the establishment of Gearhouse ICS, he saw the potential of adding my specialized experience to the ICS mix as well.”
“This is a dynamic new space to explore, with enormous scope for growth,” says Caplen. “I am excited and invigorated by the new challenge. My passion has always been to find ways of integrating new techniques and ideas into something fresh and innovative to make the lives of event organizers, speakers and delegates easier and more streamlined. Gearhouse-ICS offers me that opportunity on a much larger scale.”
