As a leading convention centre in Africa, a continent ripe with potential and opportunity, Sandton Convention Centre hosts multiple events each year which give credence to the concept of confex business. Surrounded by a plethora of accommodation, dining and entertainment options, delegates travel from every corner of the globe to attend events at Sandton Convention Centre. These delegates play a large role in sustaining and contributing to the micro economy which is the Sandton CBD.

“We think it’s important to celebrate a day like Global Meetings Industry Day. The sometimes unacknowledged influence of the MICE industry is what keeps our country and continent at the forefront of innovative business practices and knowledge-share. As the burgeoning African continent continues to live up to its potential, growing and developing in unprecedented ways, we look forward to a prosperous future as one of Africa’s leading venues” says Shaun Bird, General Manager at Sandton Convention Centre.
