iStore introduces Meets to stores in SA

iStore has launched iStore Meets, “a series of inspiring and informative sessions where attendees can learn from the best”, at its outlets across South Africa. 

iStore Meets will be hosted by a variety of industry personalities and experts like world-class musicians, renowned photographers, talented artists and other evangelists with skills to share in fields like photography, video, music, coding, art, and health.

“iStore is the ultimate destination for the Apple community to meet, connect and get the most out of their products,” says Chris Dodd, iStore CEO. “Our goal with iStore Meets is to enrich people’s lives by creating a platform where you can learn from the best – whether you want to try something new, be inspired to do something different or take your passions further.”

Examples of opportunities on offer are learning how to use Logic Pro X to create a beat with hitmaker DJ Prince Kaybee, follow Karen Zoid, on her journey through the digital music industry, and dabbling in the art of tattoo illustration using the iPad, with tattoo artist Thys Uys from Fallen Heroes.
