Dear Paddocks Press Fan,

Last month’s inaugural Paddocks Industry Summit 2025 was a milestone for South Africa’s community schemes sector. Over two packed days, we brought together leading voices from across the industry to explore the challenges and opportunities shaping our future.

One of the strongest threads running through the Summit was technology and AI. The message was clear: artificial intelligence is no longer a distant concept. It’s here, transforming how we manage schemes today. 

In this month’s edition of Paddocks Press, we’re keeping the conversation going with an AI focus. You’ll find:
    •    An AI-generated video of Jennifer’s avatar sharing a Summit overview; and
    •    A thought-provoking article by Graham on AI in scheme management.

We also have our three most popular courses starting on Monday, 25 August. Unless you want to wait until January 2026, don’t miss your last chance to sign up in 2025:

• Sectional Title Scheme Manager
• Home Owners’ Association Scheme Manager
• Start and Manage Your Own Managing Agency

Here’s to building smarter, more resilient, and community-focused schemes, with people and technology working hand-in-hand.

Warm regards,
Jennifer
