Sandton Convention Centre to host various events in 2012

The Sandton Convention Centre (SCC) managed to secure a number of major bids for local and international meetings and events in 2012. Amongst these are the International Council for Game and Wildlife Conservation conference, taking place in May, the 3rd Annual Biological Safety Conference (June), the International Small Business Congress & Expo (September), the 27th International Federation of Societies of Cosmetic Chemists congress and the 2012 Discop Africa Expo (both in October).

The bid successes have kept on coming with the SCC winning tenders to host the One Young World Youth Summit and the 4th World Conference on Doping in Sport in 2103. In addition, the bid accomplishments of the SCC have been so tremendous that it has even been named host venue for events taking place in 2014. These include the 21st General Meeting of the International Mineralogical Association and the 21st World Orchid Conference.

"It's thanks to the steadfast dedication of the SCC's enthusiastic team, along with a focused and strategic drive towards bidding that the convention centre continues to enjoy such remarkable international and local bid presentation successes," says SCC's executive director, Mati Nyazema.
