Welcome to Johannesburg
South Africa's place of gold, and the economic powerhouse
of Southern Africa. Welcome also to Sandton Central, the
thriving district at the hub of this region's commercial
activity, and home to South Africa's largest and most prestigious
multi-purpose exhibition and convention centre.
General lnfo
• This twelve-storey structure is designed and built
to provide convention, exhibition and special event space
over five main levels. It combines spectacular double and
triple-volume use of interior space in its main and public
areas, with smaller and more intimate break-away meeting
rooms and galleries on its mezzanine levels.
• Its extensive glass frontage creates an open, inviting
façade from which delegates can see and be seen,
especially when travelling on the 26 escalators in their
|  |
two escalator wells. The main foyers and several of the meeting
rooms enjoy excellent natural daylight, and the building
has been designed to accommodate and provide access for disabled
visitors.
• Sandton offers its visitors a unique shopping experience.
The Sandton Convention Centre is linked by skywalk to Sandton
City and adjacent to Nelson Mandela Square, two of the most
prestigious and sophisticated shopping complexes in Africa.
Their spacious mall environs are ideal for walking, browsing,
sitting over coffee, eating or shopping. They offer over
50 restaurants, ranging from the relaxed and casual to the
elegantly formal. The more than 200 shops are renowned for
local and international fashion, specialist diamond and jewellery
stores, and an abundance of African art, crafts and curios. |
