Whether it was communicating with overseas parties, meeting with local embassies, coordinating VIP arrivals or arranging safe, secure holding areas during the conference, the venue demonstrated the required level of knowledge and experience and was able to deliver a top class event to the international environmental community.
"The ICC received positive feedback from delegates who appreciated the friendly professional service, African hospitality and the world class facilities offered by the ICC team," said CEO Julie-May Ellingson.
Meetings galore
The event called for 27 simultaneous meeting rooms with the capacity to host between 20 and 500 delegates, 2 plenary halls hosting between 1300 and 1900 delegates, 235 administration and country delegation offices, 800 computer internet stations, 278 exhibition stands in the ICC exhibition centre, a large travel and accommodation desk and three banking facilities.
Meeting rooms were booked back to back with the ICC Durban hosting 2520 meetings over the two-week period. This is a feat, taking into account that each meetings venue had to be refreshed before and after each meeting. Additionally, country delegations hosted meetings in their own offices and meeting rooms and there were hundreds of impromptu and informal meetings held all over the precinct.
