The Gauteng Convention

With South Africa being the gateway to Africa, Gauteng is where it all starts, with an extensive track record of staging successful conferences and events.

It is the epicentre of South Africa’s business events industry, offering world-class venues and infrastructure for meetings, incentives, conferences, exhibitions and events.

Helping to increase the province’s high-yield business tourism market, the Gauteng Convention & Events Bureau (GCEB) provides information and assistance to meeting and incentives planners, the media, corporates and association buyers who show an interest in one of the five regions that it promotes.

Support services include standard bid support material, venue and accommodation sourcing, and using networks to gain local association and promotional support. Using its extensive list of key stakeholders, such as airlines, hotels, venues, tour operators and government protocol offices, the bureau is capable of delivering quality services to interested parties.
