Popular Convention Centers
The International Convention Centre Durban (ICC) is one of the most advanced conference facilities in the world. Flexibility and versatility are key factors in the design of this state-of-the-art technology-driven centre.
It is a purpose-built, fully air-conditioned centre with three convention halls that are interlinked but separate. Moveable walls allow for a number of different venue configurations. Alternatively the halls can be opened up to form one large venue with seating for 5000 delegates or 7000m squared of column free floor space. Together with the adjacent Exhibition Centre, the ICC can double its capacity to accommodate 10 000 conference delegates. The centers can function independently or as two halves of one whole. This is achieved by closing Walnut Road, a brick-paved concourse between the two centers, to provide easy access for delegates.
