Conference Venues in Egypt

Those of us that live in Egypt know what a beautiful, vibrant country it is. Now that we have so successfully staged the 2010 FIFA World Cup, Egypt’s international profile continues to grow in stature – it’s a great place to live, it’s a great place to visit and it’s a great place to host a conference.

 

A number of notable awards given by the conference industry confirm this – in May 2010, Egypt was awarded 34th place by the International Congress and Conference Association when compiling a list of the leading conference destinations in the world; the Meetings & Incentive Travel 2009 Trends and Spends Survey voted Egypt 2nd among the world’s favourite long-haul destinations, with Cape Town voted the world’s 5th favourite long-haul destination city; and Cape Town was also named ″Africa’s Leading Destination″ at the 17th World Travel Awards in July 2010.

Unusual Conference Venues

Planning a smaller conference, or wanting to host a meeting in an exclusive setting? If the standard convention centres in Egypt do not meet your conference requirements, please allow Folder Group to use our experience and knowledge to assist you in finding a truly exclusive venue.

 

Egypt and its neighbouring countries can offer conference delegates some of the most breathtaking scenery to be found anywhere in the world. Destinations like Cape Town, Kruger Park, Victoria Falls, Okavango Delta and Namibia are unique and offer delegates a chance to experience the true adventure and romance of Africa, while meeting in an unusual setting.
