About the Meetings Africa Event
The 2024 edition of this 2-day trade show took place at the Sandton Convention Centre in Johannesburg, providing a stage for hundreds of exhibitors to present their services to local and international buyers, African associations, and corporate planners.
The event enabled crucial face-to-face interactions among exhibitors, buyers, and media with some of the world’s most influential buyers, all under one roof. This setup maximised an incredible time of networking, learning, and conducting business.
