VENUE OF THE MONTH

Conference with confidence at Emperors Palace.

Emperors Palace is establishing a new standard in new normal conferencing.

Things are different now. It’s a phrase we’ve heard repeatedly in the face of Covid-19. To many, change may be daunting, but to others it’s an opportunity to evolve and alter perspective.

The Emperors Palace Convention Centre in Kempton Park, which is a mere stone’s throw from O.R. Tambo International Airport and the Gautrain, has embraced the challenge and adapted their service offerings to encompass our new reality.

“The impact of Covid-19 has been global, and you cannot ignore that its repercussions are here to stay for some time,” said Yugashnee Naicker, sales manager at Peermont. “And it’s during these testing times that you have to evolve, because life goes on. That is why, at the Emperors Palace Convention Centre, we are here to support our clients by offering them a very flexible and evolved service.”

With digital meetings and social distancing playing a vital role in everyday interaction, Emperors Palace has harnessed technology to provide innovative and hybrid solutions that allow live streaming, multi-channel broadcasting and live attendance to work together to provide an alternative solution.

“Our new Studio Iris and Theodora Boardroom both allow for more flexibility. You may stream to whoever you want, whether it is colleagues in London or a socially distanced audience in any of our nearby conference rooms. The idea is that we are able to tailor-make a solution for your needs,” Ms Naicker said.

With access to adjacent hotels, the Emperors Palace Convention Centre has partnered with Medicare24 and provided a Bio-Bubble solution for multi-day, closed events. “Emperors Palace and our sister resort Rio have both successfully hosted conferences in a secure bio-bubble environment,” Ms Naicker said. “Delegates undergo a rapid Covid test upon arrival and, once negative, enter the sterile bio-bubble environment for the duration of the conference. This offers a lot of peace-of-mind for multi-day events where you need to interact with colleagues.”

With sanitisation being a primary requirement, Emperors Palace is proud to partner with Bidvest Prestige to ensure that all conference facilities comply with the highest standards.

“There are new protocols that have now become standard,” said Tiaan Schulz, group food and beverage manager at Peermont. “All our food is prepared in a sanitary environment and served as individual packages. Everything is sealed for the protection of our guests, from the cutlery to the complimentary stationery and there are even individualised sanitisers at each station.”

The Emperors Palace Convention Centre backs its solutions with a five-star promise:

1. Flexibility

Providing access to a range of setups, layout options and hybrid solutions to fulfil your needs.

2. Safety

All Covid-19 protocols are in place, providing a sanitised environment. We are even able to provide a closed bio-bubble service if you require a closed event over multiple days.

3. Service

All solutions are backed by Peermont’s pledge to offer industry-leading service and attention to detail, backed by years of experience.

4. Innovation

Evolving to provide technological streaming services and cutting-edge conferencing equipment to reach out locally and globally across all platforms.

5. Value

Offering value-for-money solutions to suit budgets, because we understand that the times are tough.
