Conference Centre

The Conference Centre, housed in the Sports Science Institute of South Africa, is situated in the heart of Newlands, home of rugby and cricket. Delegates attending conferences have the opportunity during breaks to go on a walkabout trail of the SA Rugby Museum and Josephine’s Mill, Cape Town's only water mill still in operation.

Auditorium

The auditorium, seating 200 delegates, has built-in tables in theatre style and the most modern audio visual equipment. The auditorium is also available for big screen match viewing, such as rugby and cricket.

Breakaway rooms

Six smaller conference rooms, suitable for workshops, training sessions and smaller conferences compliment the auditorium. These rooms are suitable for groups of 5 to 70 delegates.
