The International Convention Centre in Durban is one of the largest in the country. Along with its adjacent Durban Exhibition Centre, it can handle conferences of up to 15 000 delegates.

In 2001, it was the venue for the United Nations' World Conference Against Racism.
Gallagher Estate in Johannesburg has a capacity of 5 000, and the MTN Sundome - also in Johannesburg - and Durban Exhibition Centre can host large trade shows.
