Sandton Convention Centre the Ideal Location for FMAS:23

As one of the province’s largest convention centres, the prestigious Sandton Convention Centre is located in the heart of the vibrant Sandton district. This area is home to some 300,000 residents and over 10,000 businesses speaking to its energy and activity.

Sandton is widely recognized as “the richest square mile in Africa,” and it remains a top destination for both locals and international travelers visiting the city of Johannesburg.

Sandton continues to flourish and offer first-class services to those who work, stay, play, or shop here. For these reasons, the decision to host FMAS:23 at the Sandton Convention Centre made sense for what will be one of the biggest events of the year in Africa.

Situated in the financial hub of Johannesburg, the Convention Centre is also importantly located in the vibrant business district in the northern part of the city. This is just a short drive from the Gautrain and O. R. Tambo International Airport, as well as leading hotels, shopping venues, and entertainment complexes.

What better location to welcome leading executives, thought leaders, and the biggest names in the financial services industry!

Why Sandton Makes Sense for FMAS:23

  • Sandton has become home to most of the major financial, consulting and banking firms in South Africa with a substantial proportion of listed companies having addresses in Sandton.
  • In economic circles, the attractiveness and economic health of an area is measured by a simple guideline – the number of cranes which can be seen on the skyline. For the past 20 years, there has been no shortage of these!
  • One of the province’s largest convention centres, the prestigious Sandton Convention Centre, is located in the heart of this vibrant district, which is home to some 300 000 residents and 10 000 businesses.
  • Sandton is the most important business district in South Africa – one of the largest office nodes – commanding the best quality and highest rentals in the country – and home to the Johannesburg Stock Exchange.
