The 70^th CESA Annual General Meeting was hosted on 28 November 2023 at the Premier Hotel OR Tambo, in Gauteng. The meeting consisted of members of the CESA board, branch chairpersons, the management team and mandated principals from member companies. As a result of member companies being located across all provinces of South Africa, and with some mandated principals residing in other countries, the AGM was hosted in a hybrid format with attendees having the opportunity to also attend online. This meeting coincided with the launch of the CESA Annual Review 2023, which can be accessed online at https://www.cesa.co.za/annual-review/
