Cape Town - host city of IASEPI 2009 General Assembly When you visit Cape Town, bring your camera! Table Mountain presides majestically over the entire city bowl, with landscapes as diverse as beaches and winelands just a short drive away. The V&A Waterfront, with its mesmerizing list of restaurants, boutiques, malls, and creative characters, remains the country's most visited venue. Cape Town is the second largest economic hub and the third most populous city of South Africa and is indeed a city that embraces its ancient and recent history, fusing it with a sense of cutting edge design, contemporary fashion, and social chic. In addition, top-notch service and excellent meeting facilities converge with a world-class infrastructure to deliver a sophisticated business environment. The Mother city is held in high regard by leisure and business tourists around the world and enjoys an international reputation for superior service and first-rate facilities, all against a backdrop of awe-inspiring natural beauty. We look forward to welcoming you to Cape Town!
The IASPEI 2009 General Assembly will be held at the Cape Town International Convention Centre. Situated on the outskirts of the Central Business District, the Cape Town International Convention Centre (CTICC) is close to the vibrant beat of the city's heart. At its official opening, President Thabo Mbeki called the development 'a symbol of hope, a symbol of our glorious past, a symbol of modernity and a symbol of future prosperity'. The CTICC is designed to meet the varied needs of its delegates and visitors. Its subdivisible, multi-use convention facilities - and dedicated exhibition area - create an environment that allows for multiple events and functions. The two auditoria, which offer excellent technological infrastructure and superb acoustics, provide tiered seating for large plenary sessions, lectures, product launches, award evenings and theatre productions. Situated on opposite ends of the building, both auditoria can be utilized simultaneously while still allowing delegates breathing space. Design details such as writing tablets attached to the seats add a final quality touch. The IASPEI 2009 Opening and Closing ceremonies shall be held in Auditorium II which seats 620 delegates and is also equipped with a stage, screen, six interpreting booths, and a projection room. This Auditorium is ideally located off the Strelitzia Conservatory and can be accessed from Level 1 of the centre. The Conservatory is the ideal pause point between busy conference schedules - enjoy some refreshments, and relax. Spacious and de luxe meeting and function rooms of varying sizes include four Meeting Rooms, each accommodating up to 330 delegates. The Meeting Rooms are sub-divisible and can be set up for a variety of configurations. A diverse number of dedicated conservatories and landings complement the meeting requirements of event organisers. The CTICC's two multifunctional restaurants are the Strelitzia and the Jasminum. Both are accessible from several venues. The spacious conservatories are flooded with natural light and surrounded by indigenous flora. These relaxing, less formal settings are perfect for viewing of exhibits, cocktails, light lunches, a meal on the run, or just a moment of quiet reflection in the course of a busy conference schedule. |
