THE VENUE OF CHOICE DURING THE 2010 WORLD CUP TM
The 2010 FIFA World Cup™ was a time for the Sandton Convention Centre to really shine and put 10 years of unparalleled eventing expertise into practice. During the month of June the SCC recorded its highest ever occupancy in 10 years. The SCC hosted some of football’s most noteworthy and festive events. World Cup™ celebrations kicked off with the ‘Taste of Mexico’ extravaganza and the centre also hosted the Casa Brazil Sensational Experience, showcasing the sights and sounds of Brazil for 2014. The SABC Studios occupied the venue for the duration, and other events included the Heads of States Breakfast, World Sports Destination Expo and the unveiling of the Brazil 2014 logo and campaign.
Event Greening With the world’s focus turning to environmental issues such as global warming, carbon emissions, waste management and energy efficiency, it is comforting to know that one of the leading convention centres in Africa has been flying the ‘green’ flag high since its doors opened 10 years ago.
The Sandton Convention Centre was awarded gold classification status in the Heritage Environmental Rating Programme in 2002. Due to its ongoing commitment to reducing impact on the environment and surrounding community through its ‘Green Plan’, the convention centre has managed to retain this prestigious status and continue to strive to sustainable operations.
