Situated on the outskirts of the Central Business District, the Cape Town International Convention Centre (CTICC) is closeto the vibrant beat of the city’s heart. At its official opening,President Thabo Mbeki called the development ‘a symbol of hope, a symbol of our glorious past, a symbol of modernity and a symbol of future prosperity’. It is a notion that is as true today as it was then.

The Cape Town International Convention Centre is designed to meet the varied needs of its delegates and visitors. Its subdivisible, multi-use convention facilities – and dedicated exhibition area – create an environment that allows for any number of events and functions.

A sublime sense of space 

One of the outstanding features of the CTICC is its imposing, two-storey gallery that extends the full length of the centre. Move from one venue to the next, and you will soon notice that the design lends itself to a smooth flow and circulation of visitors. From major medical and scientific conventions hosting thousands of delegates, to consumer exhibitions and trade shows, as well as intimate meetings and events, the CTICC
accommodates them all.

The Auditoria

The two auditoria, which offer excellent technological infrastructure and superb acoustics, provide tiered seating for large plenary sessions, lectures, product launches award evenings and theatre productions. Situated on opposite ends of the building, both auditoria can be utilized simultaneously while still allowing delegates breathing space. Design details such as writing tablets attached to the seats add a final quality
touch. The sweeping space of Auditorium I seats 1500 guests, and is equipped with a large stage and screen, six interpreting booths, an orchestra pit and a projection room. Linked VIP dressing rooms comfortably accommodate speakers, or the cast of theatre productions. The auditorium’s spacious foyer enables delegates to enjoy refreshments, register, network, or view conference-related exhibits with ease. A designated exterior smoking terrace leads off from the foyer.
