Conferencing

Nelson Mandela Bay is a magical slice of Africa which offers a wealth of leisure opportunities, including "Big Seven" game, viewed up close in a malaria-free environment, but more than this, it is an area devoted to "stress-free conferencing". 

Nelson Mandela Bay is the main gateway to the Eastern Cape and is the country's fifth largest city. It is always buzzing with business visitors, investors and conference attendees, exploring the new entrepreneurial opportunities created within the Bay. The Bay is equidistant to all major South African cities and offers endless stretches of white sandy beaches. The visitors are provided with a safe and welcoming environment with the warm hospitality that Nelson Mandela Bay is renowned for.

Nelson Mandela Bay is capable of hosting conferences, corporate events and private functions in a number of exciting venues in and around the Bay. Conferences are supported by state-of-the-art technical support in different conference venues. This technical support is able to meet the needs of every conference. Video conferencing, well equipped venues and team-building getaways are all wrapped up in an effective, stable and scenic environment. 


Venues offer a variety of facilities which can be arranged to suit any conference, meeting or event. Seating arrangements are flexible, breakaway rooms can be provided and a variety of catering services can be arranged. The average venue caters for 70-300 delegates but bigger and smaller venues are available. The largest venue caters for up to 1400 delegates. Venues are situated around the Bay area but if you are looking for exclusivity and comfort, a private game reserve, seaside resort and luxury hotels also offer world-class conference venues. 

A vast amount of establishments offer unique private function venues that are ideal for hosting cocktail parties, awards dinners, company and year end functions.
