Meetings Africa 2024, hosted by South African Tourism, is set to celebrate its 18th year as the leading Business Events Trade Show. This event, taking place from 27th to 28th February 2024 at the Sandton Convention Centre in Johannesburg, South Africa, is dedicated to providing a market access platform for African Business Events Products. Over the course of two days, with an additional BONDay on the 26th February, Meetings Africa offers a unique opportunity for exhibitors to present their services to an audience of international and local buyers, African associations, and corporate planners.
The trade show is organized in collaboration with key global, continental, and national industry associations, and includes a specially dedicated Educational Day aimed at fostering the growth of the business events industry on the continent. Meetings Africa is not just a trade show; it’s a critical platform for facilitating face-to-face interactions with the world’s most influential buyers and playing a significant role in the economic development of Africa’s business events sector.
As the entry point to Africa, Gauteng significantly contributes to the event’s success, leveraging its world-class venues, infrastructure, and the Gauteng Convention & Events Bureau’s support services. These include bid assistance, sourcing venues and accommodations, and providing local promotional support, ensuring Meetings Africa’s position as the continent’s most formidable platform for business events growth.
