The Foremost Sandton Conference Venue Is In A Nature Reserve, Yet Close To The City

Johannesburg businesses may look for a Sandton conference venue to host events like:

·         conferences

·         seminars

·         business meetings

·         product launches

·         training sessions

·         year-end functions

However, even if your business is in Johannesburg or Sandton itself, is Sandton necessarily the best place to start looking for a conference venue?  With Sandton being the richest piece of real estate per square kilometre on the entire continent, conference venues here do not exactly come cheaply.  What is more, conferencing here does not take you out of the city, so the normal city disadvantages remain.

Sandton and Countryside Venues: the Disadvantages

The typical Sandton conference venue disadvantages would typically include:

·         same-again corporate business environment in a city milieu – unlikely to stimulate creative thought

·         you are likely to fall foul of Sandton's traffic gridlocks, noise and city pollution

·         security concerns of conferencing in Sandton revolve around the area's unfavourable crime statistics

While these do not paint a rosy picture, you may presume that all of these point towards opting for a conference venue in the countryside, but you may not want to do this either, because these have their own disadvantages:

·         increased risk factors associated with spending more time on the roads travelling to a remote location

·         increased cost in terms of time, money and travelling, as well as the possibility of people getting lost

·         being removed from the city infrastructure, comforts and services

·         the venue should be close to Sandton and Johannesburg yet not in the city with its associated negatives

·         Truly comprehensive conferencing facilities should be on offer, catering for delegations from five up to 500 people with choices ranging from executive boardrooms to banqueting halls

·         Despite being very close to the city, the venue's immediate environment should be a tranquil, natural haven in nature, as if you are not close to a city

·         Comfortable, luxurious accommodation should be available on-site for delegates staying over

·         Delectable cuisine should be offered in a sit-down restaurant, as well as for weddings and conferences

·         A day spa should be on the premises too, where you can go for treatments and massages
