Parking arrangements
The venue is situated on 209 Aramist Avenue, Menlyn, Pretoria and the undercover parking entrance is on Corobay Avenue (next to the Glen High School entrance). The security will have a list of delegate names and a parking disc will be provided, which must be returned when exiting the venue. The security will also indicate the parking area closest to the venue entrance (lifts and escalators open up to the hotel entrance). Delegates will not be charged any parking fees.

The conference will be held on the first floor at Diamond Ballroom 1 and Emerald breakaway rooms 1, 2 & 3. Tea and coffee will be served in the conference venue foyer on the first floor during registration. Signage boards will be situated in strategic spots while conference assistants will also be on site to direct you.

The buffet dinner will be held on Wednesday 21 June 2023 at 18:30 for 19:00 at Diamond Ballroom 2, adjacent to the main conference hall. A welcome drink is offered, two bottles of wine per 10-person table and thereafter a cash bar is available.

The Menlyn Maine shopping centre is across the road from the conference venue, offering various restaurants and shops for your perusal. Menlyn Mall is also close by, although not within walking distance (about 1km away). You will find more restaurants at the conference venue as well (Spur, Forti Grill & Bar, Altitude rooftop bar and more).

Full internet access is provided at the venue. Each delegate must register by choosing ‘day visitor’, provide an email address and telephone number – press login and you will be connected. Delegates staying at the hotel will be connected by providing their room numbers.

There are various e-hailing companies available and the most reliable in the area is Uber.

As you might know, if you need a rental vehicle for the duration of the conference, your best option would be to book this at the same time you book your flight (certain car rental companies work with certain airlines for cheaper rates).  If not, you may contact one of the bigger car rental agencies like Avis of Europcar
