Durban Exhibition Centre, South Africa
Durban Exhibition Centre lies at the heart of Durban's business district and is almost directly opposite the International Convention Centre Durban. It is a highly attractive venue offering bespoke space for a great variety of events and exhibitions.
The exhibition centre is situated about 20 minutes from Durban International Airport and just a few minutes from Durban's hotel seafront with views over the vast expanse of beach and the mighty rollers crashing onto the stunning shoreline.
Durban Exhibition Centre is a world class venue designed for exhibitions large and small and for a variety of functions and conferences. The centre was designed for comfort and flexibility and within the two principal halls there are 9,600 square metres of floor space. The main exhibition halls are complemented by a few smaller halls, various luxury business suites and excellent catering facilities.
Outside the Durban Exhibition Centre there are 20,000 square metres of garden space with plazas that are ideal for outdoor events, complemented by plenty of spaces for conference car parking. The main hall in the Durban Exhibition Centre covers 6,000 square metres and is a great venue for all types of exhibition. The main hall can be opened up to include Hall 2 which has 3,600 square metres of exhibition space and which is column free. The smaller of the two halls can be divided into two with the help of moveable walls.
The Durban Exhibition Centre is complemented with several smaller halls that can accommodate between 20 and 370 people and these halls are called Coast of Dreams, Mistrals and Hall 6. The size of these halls makes them the perfect venues for private parties, large meetings and company breakaway sessions.
Durban Exhibition Centre is situated in a city that is steeped in history and is now a sophisticated metropolitan centre with a population approaching three million. Durban is one of Africa's busiest and best managed ports in a city that pulses with innovation and excitement.
There are always plenty of choices when it comes to places to eat in Durban and the night life consisting of theatres, clubs and cinemas, is one of the great attractions for visitors to Durban Exhibition Centre. Leisure, for those that have the time during an exhibition, consists of wonderful local shops and markets. On the beach front there are stalls selling traditional arts and crafts.
If you have a chance of a break during an exhibition, the tour of Durban is well-worth the time to take in the scale and beauty of the place and its wonderful nature reserves and sanctuaries. Durban's Botanical Gardens are an oasis of beauty that will calm frazzled nerves after a long day selling.
