Gauteng notes on facilitators for hire
Gauteng has the widest choice of facilitators in the country, from executive strategy specialists who work with boards in Sandton to team building crews who run outdoor days in Muldersdrift and the Magaliesberg. Departments in Pretoria book APP and annual performance planning sessions from October, so the experienced public sector facilitators go first. Bilingual MCs for awards evenings are easy to find, as are graphic recorders for conferences in Midrand and Rosebank.
Facilitators and providers in Gauteng
More sessions are booked in Gauteng than anywhere else in the country, simply because so many head offices, national departments and their agencies sit between Pretoria and Johannesburg. Strategy days for corporate executive teams in Sandton and Rosebank, APP sessions for departments in Pretoria, induction and compliance training for call centres and warehouses in Midrand and Ekurhuleni, and year-end functions that need an MC all happen in the same few months. Most facilitators, training providers and AV firms are based here and travel out to other provinces. Venues range from office park conference centres to hotels near OR Tambo and lodges in the Cradle of Humankind. Plan around traffic, afternoon thunderstorms in summer and a full diary from October.
The requests we see from Gauteng usually come from:
- Companies and head offices: board and committee meetings, supplier meetings and team conversations that keep getting stuck
- Government departments and municipalities: imbizos, ward meetings and stakeholder forums with residents, business and departments
- Training and skills development providers: advisory board and client review meetings for providers and HR teams
Local tips for Gauteng
Providers serving Gauteng mostly work from here: sandton, Rosebank, Midrand, Centurion, Pretoria East and the OR Tambo airport precinct. The sessions that come up most: executive strategy days, APP sessions, leadership cohorts, year-end functions with an MC. When you ask for quotes, ask whether the venue has a generator or inverter that runs the projector and PA.
Around Gauteng the largest group asking is companies and head offices, which usually means board and committee meetings, supplier meetings and team conversations that keep getting stuck. Before you agree to anything: send the agenda before the meeting. Getting there: mostly a drive, but allow for peak traffic between Pretoria and Johannesburg.
