THE CITY & THE VENUE
The City
Situated at the South-Western tip of Africa, Cape Town is a place of contrasts. It is where the Atlantic and Indian Oceans come together; where old and new converge with dramatic colonial sites and modern architecture; and where an exhilarating culture exists side-by-side with a vibrant business environment.
Cape Town’s unique character results from a cultural melting pot of the local Bantu and Khoisan tribes from the north together with British, Dutch, French, German and Indonesian settlers.
The city is one of the main economic hubs of the African continent, containing the headquarters of many companies involved in national and global commerce as well as being the seat of the South African National Parliament.
Nestled under the paternal presence of Table Mountain, Cape Town is surrounded by pristine coastline, white sandy beaches and magnificent countryside with unique flora and fauna. With its warm summer climate and friendly community, it is a perfect destination for business and vacation alike and is a truly sophisticated city at the gateway to a majestic continent.
The Venue
The 20th World LP Gas Forum will be held at the Cape Town International Convention Centre (CTICC), located on the city’s northern foreshore beneath Table Mountain.
The CTICC opened its doors in July 2003 and has been designed to offer the most modern amenities, flexible facilities and technology.
It is connected to the ArabellaSheraton Grand Hotel. The 3 other recommended Forum hotels are right next door.
Forum participants are sure to be treated to the highest degree of comfort in an atmosphere of elegance. Situated close to the city centre and the Victoria and Alfred Waterfront, outstanding cultural attractions, shopping areas and recreational amenities are within easy walking distance.
