The Eskom Convention Centre was built in the early 80's as a Training Centre exclusively for Eskom employees.

In 1992 it was opened to the general public as a Conference Centre and its diverse facilities, with accommodation, has made it a popular venue for local and international guests alike. With the addition of a 2nd Auditorium, an exhibition area and several new venues the name was changed to Eskom Convention Centre in 2000 to depict the professionalism, size, and image.

Originally built on a farm in the tranquillity of the semi-rural highveld, Eskom Convention Centre provides a friendly ambience, superior service and outstanding venues, where clients and their guests can feel right at home. 

Set in 105 hectares of land populated by Zebra, Blesbok, Springbok and of course the Guinea Fowl, the Eskom Convention Centre ensures a relaxed country atmosphere, especially in terms of its rich bird life.  Over forty different bird species can be spotted on the property making it a must for Bird lovers and amateur photographers. In addition the dam on the property is one of the few safe places for the rare bullfrog which is quickly becoming an endangered species.

Because of the diversity of the venue and the facility, we have had the pleasure of hosting a range of corporate clients, associations, government departments, as well as the ex and current President of South Africa and neighbouring countries. Eskom and its subsidiaries remains a very valuable client in both our Commercial Leasing and Conference and accommodation areas.

The Eskom Convention Centre is one of few venues in South Africa to provide a one stop facility for clients, with both conference and accommodation facilities for a large amount of delegates on one site, with full in-house catering for all events.
