The vision of the Expo Centre is, “To position Expo Centre Johannesburg as the leading exhibition, convention and events venue within Southern Africa and to ensure that all visitors consistently experience value and levels of service beyond their expectations” We are proud to say that this vision is not only met, but exceeded.The exhibition, events and conventions industry in South Africa has much to be proud of, in that this multi-purpose venue has dedicated exhibition facilities that are the largest in Africa. The Expo Centre can offer over 42 000 square metres of space, that is accessible from multiple entrances, with all infrastructural requirements being provided, such as banking facilities, telecommunication services, five star in house catering facilities, and ample and secure parking for up to 20 000 vehicles.
The Expo Centre is fortunate in that we are easily accessed via highways, leading from different directions and, more importantly, the flow of peak traffic is in the opposite direction. With a plethora of exciting tourist attractions located in close proximity to us, such as the Gold Reef City Casino, Gold Reef City historical village, the Apartheid Museum, shopping malls and a variety of restaurants, visitors will have a host of activities to undertake whilst attending conventions, exhibitions and events at the centre. The facilities of the venue can be configured in many different ways, meaning that intimate conferences of 10 delegates to international conventions of 15 000 delegates can be hosted. Recently unveiled was our new state of the art convention venue. This multi-purpose venue has two levels including a column free area downstairs, which can accommodate 300 delegates, and a dedicated boardroom, reception counter, and a lounge area. Upstairs, an “African Chic” theme prevails with a dedicated bar, lounges and al fresco dining area making this the perfect venue for conferences, cocktail receptions, themed events and product launches. In addition, the Main Arena can accommodate an impressive 25 000 people. With so much space available, easily adjusted to suit any needs, the Expo Centre is able to host any national or international event.
However, one of the core services that is now available to our clients, is the Johannesburg Expo Convention and Events Bureau. As an excellent facility, we want to provide the support of world-class service. We will be able to: ~ Provide advice on venue choice within the Expo Centre ~ Assist clients with the production of dedicate bid documents ~ Facilitate and co-ordinate site inspection visits ~ Assist clients with their increased delegate participation programmes ~ Give advice on specialized conference and exhibition services ~ Assist with themes and menus for events and banquets.
In terms of our long term vision incorporating 2010, The City of Johannesburg has given the thumbs up to the Nasrec Development Urban Design Framework, which aims to turn Nasrec into a world-class sports, tourism and exhibition hub. During his budget speech, Executive Mayor Councillor Amos Masondo said the City had set aside R15-million for the next financial year for upgrading the Nasrec precinct.
