Sandton Conference
CTICC
Durban Conference

This growth can be attributed to a number of factors, including the development of state–of–the–art
conferencing facilities capable of hosting large international conferences and the emergence of South Africa as a destination that offers international delegates a new, exciting and affordable conference alternative.

South Africa has a diverse selection of conference venues and facilities. Options for larger conferences include state-of-the-art convention centres such as The Cape Town International Convention Centre (CTICC), Durban International Convention Centre and The Sandton Convention Centre in Johannesburg.
