Experiences

It’s been said that size doesn’t matter, but when it comes to creating extraordinary experiences for your guests, delegates or attendees, we have to disagree. That’s why we recently expanded the CTICC with the sole aim of giving our clients and guests more…

More space. More flexibility. More award-winning cuisine. More attention to detail. More convenience. More breathtaking views. More parking. More facilities. All of which give you more opportunity to transform your meeting, event, conference or show into a truly extraordinary experience.

To discover the massive positive impact our bigger and better convention centre can have on your brand or business, contact the CTICC today on +27 21 410 5000 or email sales@cticc.co.za

WELCOME FROM HOST VENUE

SANDTON CONVENTION CENTRE

proudly welcomes Meetings Africa delegates once again

AS THE HOST VENUE, SANDTON CONVENTION CENTRE is extremely proud to continue our long-standing history with Meetings Africa, and we welcome you to what is considered one of the most prestigious entries on the confex industry calendar. Meetings Africa, as the showcase for Africa’s diverse offering of global meetings services and products, is an iconic industry event and one of SCC’s signature events every year. It highlights Africa’s steady climb in the world rankings as a preferred business destination – and we are proud to be the hosts. SCC has many other major local and international events scheduled for 2018, which include confex events, exhibitions, conferences, and numerous other special events and presentations, as well as six major events organised by associations and societies. 6 Exhibition Catalogue 2018

When a conference or exhibition takes place, it has a massive footprint and impact on the destination in which it is hosted. It is one of the few occasions in the business tourism sector that touches on the entire tourism spectrum. For example, if you have a conference for 100 delegates, each one of those delegates will travel to the conference, will require transport from the airport to the hotel, and will book accommodation during the conference. Each delegate will frequent restaurants in the area and take part in activities the area has to offer during their down time or as part of the leisure element of the conference. All of this means each delegate’s attendance has a knock on effect which not only benefits the venue which is hosting the conference but almost every area associated with tourism.

WELCOME FROM HOST VENUE

ABOUT SANDTON CONVENTION CENTRE Conveniently situated in Sandton, the heart of Johannesburg’s economic capital, Tsogo Sun’s Sandton Convention Centre is flanked by over 1 000 Tsogo Sun hotels rooms at the luxurious Sandton Sun and InterContinental Johannesburg Sandton Towers Hotels and the select service Garden Court Sandton City Hotel. All are perfectly positioned for both local and international travellers. Sandton Convention Centre is easily accessible in 15 minutes via the rapid rail link Gautrain from OR Tambo International Airport, and offers access to over 11 500

parking bays as well as a myriad of world-class shopping and entertainment options. As a state-of-the-art venue, Sandton Convention Centre provides a platform for people to share ideas, inspire progressive thinking and project innovative global solutions. Our awardwinning convention centre is a proud host to some of South Africa’s largest and most successful exhibitions, offering over 10 000 m2 of dedicated exhibition space in addition to multi-purpose spaces for conferences and meetings of just under 12 000 m2.

Furthermore, there is an on-going ripple effect and the value of any conference goes far beyond just the delegate’s attendance. Research from the South African National Convention Bureau has shown that up to 60% of international delegates who attend conferences in South Africa will return within five years of attending the conference with their families on holiday. As South Africa is a long-haul destination, this is higher than the international average. The business events industry is currently extremely strong as the trend of connecting face-to-face grows in popularity around the world. Technology has made it easier for people to connect remotely, but remote corporate communication is waning in favour of a more personal approach and companies are realising that nothing can replace one-on-one interaction. This means that conferences are not only beneficial in terms of networking but also as knowledge sharing platforms. As one of the largest convention centres on the continent, with multiple levels of versatile space and access to more than 6 000 hotel rooms, ranging from budget to luxury, which are accessible via the skywalk or within easy walking distance, we look forward to hosting an event for you in the future.

Multiple events can be staged simultaneously on four main levels, and events of any size from 10 to 10 000 delegates can be accommodated. SCC boasts a highly-skilled team that is equipped to manage the most demanding specifications of any event. In addition visitors can access two of Africa’s most exclusive and premium shopping and entertainment complexes; Sandton City and Nelson Mandela Square linked to the convention centre via two skywalks.
