Conference, event & meeting venues in southern Africa

We know that the food is often what makes or breaks a conference or an event, and is always an important component of the whole conference experience for delegates. Some of these trends – such as children’s nutrition – obviously don’t really play a role in conference cuisine but some of them are very relevant and give you an indication of the type of food and menus you are likely to experience during 2012.

The Protea Hospitality Group has started a roll-out across South Africa of a purified water system that will replace bottled mineral water in their conferencing venues and ultimately save millions of plastic bottles from ending up in landfills.

Organisers of the Asia-Pacific Incentives & Meetings Expo (AIME) welcome South African Tourism as the 2012 sponsor of Globe, the show’s restaurant and meeting hub – a move that will give attendees the opportunity to sample South Africa’s unique cuisine.
