Sandton notes on facilitators for hire
Executive teams in Sandton often want a facilitator who has run board strategy sessions before and can handle senior voices in the room. Many book a two day offsite in the Magaliesberg or the Cradle of Humankind and a follow-up session back in the office. Conference MCs, panel moderators and keynote speakers work at the convention centre and hotel ballrooms, and graphic facilitators are often booked for leadership forums in the CBD.
Facilitation work in Sandton
Corporate head offices set the tone in Sandton. Banks, insurers, law and audit firms and listed companies around Rivonia Road, Katherine Street and Sunninghill book board strategy days, executive offsites, leadership programmes and sales kick-offs, and they expect polished facilitation and a clear write-up. The convention centre, hotels and serviced office venues in the CBD handle large conferences and investor events, while smaller boardrooms in Illovo, Rosebank and Bryanston suit closed sessions. NPOs in Alexandra, a short distance east, book community workshops and skills programmes. Many facilitators and speakers live in the northern suburbs, so travel costs are low. The busy months are October to early December and the weeks before a February year end.
Typical conference MCs and moderators requests in the area come from:
- Companies and head offices: sales conferences, product launches, award evenings and year-end functions for staff
- NPOs, churches and community groups: MCs for NPO galas, fundraising dinners and community celebrations
- Event organisers and associations: event organisers needing MCs and moderators for conferences and expos
Local tips for Sandton
Common here: board and executive strategy days, leadership programmes, conferences and keynotes. Ask each provider about this: ask whether the day rate includes design time and the written session report. Where they work from: the Sandton CBD, Rivonia Road, Sunninghill and Illovo, with venues in the hotels.
Sizes range widely: an evening to a three-day conference. Here, companies and head offices lead the requests, typically for sales conferences, product launches, award evenings and year-end functions for staff. One local point to raise: on the Gautrain line from the airport and Pretoria; parking can be costly in the CBD.
