The ETC Conference Centre
The Conference Centre boasts a 500 seater main auditorium which constitutes the main body of the complex and can be divided into four different halls by utilising the floor to ceiling soundproof, sliding partitions. Three audiovisual suites are located within this area as well as the video/projection control room. A large entrance provides suitable access for vehicles, and larger exhibits for product launches. 
The centre has an impressive entrance which leads into an expansive foyer with elegant surroundings, and this foyer is the ideal venue for pre-conference gatherings, exhibitions, product displays, cocktail functions and registration facilities. Adjacent to the foyer and auditorium are the Elizabeth and Algoa rooms. Apart from their prime use as committee rooms, these can be used effectively as hospitality suites, workshop centres or board rooms. The Algoa room can also be divided into two sections. A servery area is situated immediately in front of the kitchen and off the main entrance foyer and provides excellent meals for groups of conference delegates. Our comprehensive kitchen allows for full in-house catering with a wide variety of choices as well as outdoor catering functions. The terrace is an extension of the servery which leads to a charming, secluded garden gazebo with facilities such as a spit braai and pizza oven for more informal and intimate catering purposes.
