The building itself is over a 300 metres in length, large enough to park 4 Airbus A380’s end-to-end! to the Centre’s intelligent design and operable walls, it makes an almost unlimited number of venue configurations available to our clients. Its main convention hall area of 11,600m² can be opened up to form one massive venue or subdivided into 22 separate exhibition halls of various sizes.

The Durban Exhibition Centre, located directly adjacent to the Durban ICC, offers two large halls with a combined area of 9,270m² of flexible exhibition space. To give an indication of size, the two main halls can accommodate 400 (3m x 3m) exhibition stands. In addition, the DEC provides several smaller halls and catering facilities ranging from 24m² to 540m².

Many of our existing Exhibition clients take advantage of the balmy Durban weather and expand their events onto the many extensive plazas on the property. These plazas and gardens are ideally suited to outdoor exhibition space where a variety of marquees and pavilions can be erected as required.

Thanks to all the exhibition venues within the complex being located on ground level, access for contractors and suppliers via the large loading bay doors is hassle-free. The Durban ICC is a member of both UFI (The Global Association of the Exhibition Industry) and EXSA (Exhibition and Event Association of Southern Africa) and has had the privilege of hosting several high-profile local and international exhibitions.
