South Africa expos calendar

Business tourism, including the trade show and expo industry, is booming in South Africa. And no wonder.

Well over 1 000 world-class conference and exhibition venues are available across the country, ranging from intimate bush hideaways to hi-tech convention centres, and all offering a wealth of side-tours: from walking with elephants to first- hand experiences of African culture to luxury shopping and relaxation.

Take a look at our calender of expos forthcoming in South Africa. It's not an exhaustive list, but aims to cover the major events – including those targeting the international market – and is updated regularly.

Also check out our new, comprehensive listings of current and upcoming events – see box on right.
