Connect ⋅ Communicate ⋅ Collaborate
The South African Sleep Health Symposium 2018 was hosted by the University of Cape Town and the Sports Science Institute of South Africa in Newlands, Cape Town on Monday 10 – Tuesday 11 September 2018. The purpose of the Symposium was to bring together researchers and practitioners with a common interest in sleep and its association with mental and physical health. We at the University of Cape Town and the Sports Science Institute of South Africa (SSISA) would like to thank you all attending delegates for their invaluable contribution to the event. Without your support this event would not be possible. We hope you left the event enriched with knowledge, inspired to make a difference and motivated to succeed!
One of our core values is our desire to be world class, and we hope that this event met and exceeded your expectations. An event of this magnitude is impossible to host without the support of our partners, therefore we would like to take this opportunity, on behalf of everyone, to also thank our sponsors Granny Goose, 7hrSleep and Mysleep who contributed to this wonderful event.
