Cape Town's state-of-the-art Convention Centre is of international standard and was officially opened on 28 June 2003. It offers a purpose-built, flexible facility with 10000 m² of dedicated exhibition space, two raked fixed-seating auditoria for 1500 and 600 delegates, a 2000 m² grand ballroom with magnificent city views, and over 33 break-out rooms.

Located on Cape Town’s northern foreshore, beneath Table Mountain, the Centre offers event organisers a state-of-the-art facility with high-tech infrastructure.
