GREYVILLE EXHIBITION AND EVENTS COMPANY - GREYVILLE IS NOT JUST FOR THE DURBAN JULY – EXPOSING THE FULL SCOPE OF EVENT HOSTING CAPABILITIES

A group of leading professionals in hospitality and event management have joined forces to transform Durban eventing as we know it. The Greyville Exhibition and Events Company was launched at Greyville Race Course on Thursday 18 September at a lavish function attended by over 500 hospitality, corporate and government event organisers.
Identifying a need to facilitate an array of events at one location, this team of concert organisers, conference organisers, exhibition experts, wedding planners and project managers have had an unprecedented meeting of the minds to form the Greyville Exhibition and Events Company, the likes of which have not been seen before.
Established to provide an open-plan exhibition and conference space at one of Durban’s most recognisable landmarks, the multipurpose Centre is adept at hosting sporting events, conventions, corporate functions, concerts and weddings. With over 25 years of experience, its little wonder that this team has been appointed as the sole marketing, sales and operations agents of hospitality at Greyville.
In close proximity to national highways and 5000 secure on-site parking bays make Greyville the preferred destination for both social and business occasions alike. With Thirteen magnificent indoor venues that boast a combined capacity of 20 000 people, it is clear that there is a new hotspot in town.
Featuring the largest outdoor screen of its kind in sub-Saharan Africa and with infrastructure to host conferences of up to 50 000 people, there are no limits to event organiser’s needs.
Alan Vels, Executive Director of Greyville Exhibition and Events Company said “the Pride of the Greyville Facility is undoubtedly the new Silver Ring Room. It’s one of the largest freestanding indoor facilities without columns in Durban, and is the quintessential events hall. Unobstructed views over Durban in the 2 100 square metre space and a capacity of 2 000 people banquet style make it an unrivalled option for large corporate functions and extravagant weddings. We are very excited about the possibilities this facility has and our bookings to date have exceeded our initial expectations,” he said.
The thirteen venues are completely multi-flexible and can be modified for an array of functions with unique specifications. From exhibitions on a grand scale to more intimate boardroom meetings, what sets Greyville apart is its willingness to adapt. Gone are the days of limited setup times and exorbitant costs for the staging of events. Greyville offers a reasonably priced solution that places the needs and scheduling of its guests as the primary concern.
With the eLan Property Group who are the main shareholders of the new company sponsoring the Gold Cup horse race for the next three years, a commitment to honouring the traditions of the venue is clear, but make no mistake, Greyville has become more than simply a racetrack. It’s where you want to be.
