Bloemfontein: the employers, the venues and the calendar
Bloemfontein is South Africa's judicial capital, home to the Supreme Court of Appeal, and the seat of the Free State provincial government and legislature. Universities, a large TVET college and several hospitals make education and health important clients too. Typical sessions are departmental strategy days, legal and professional development workshops, academic conferences and leadership programmes for public sector managers. Conference venues sit in Brandwag, Westdene, Bayswater and along the N1, with guest farms in Bainsvlei for team building on the open veld. The central location makes it a common meeting point for national bodies. Winters are cold and frosty, and summers hot with storms.
