Our CEO, Gary Koetser, recently joined Michael Avery on the Classic Business show on FMR 101.3FM to discuss the change in narrative in the conferencing sector.

The South African meetings and conferencing industry is in full swing again, and in its renewed vigour, MICE is opening doors of opportunity that will feed not just into the development of its own ecosystem, but into the country’s overall economic growth.

Job creation, tantalising draw cards for local and foreign investment, the bolstering of SME development, and a refreshed drive towards sustainability – both work longevity and purpose-for-planet – are just some of the areas that stand in line to benefit from conferencing’s renewed zest for business.

Listen as Gary and Michael discus how the narrative in the conferencing sector is shifting; how investors are showing more interest in industries tied to hospitality, tourism, and travel; and how marketing efforts are crucial to elevate South Africa's profile as a premier conference and event destination: https://iono.fm/e/1438768

As 2023 comes to an end, we topped off another great year with our coveted Annual Awards evening - which aims to celebrate the consistent hard work and dedication of our team. As our CEO, Gary Koetser, so elegantly put it: “I am filled with gratitude. I did not have to come to work this year, I GOT to come to work this year - it’s been an absolute honour.” Throughout the ups and downs, and rapid expansion that we have seen in 2023, our team has never ceased to embody this statement. We can all agree that 2023 has meant something different to everybody. Here we asked our nominees for “Employee of the Year 2023” what the highlight of their year was:

Chef Lemar's Ravioli

Handmade exotic mushroom ravioli made by our Sous Chef, Lemar Desamparado. Before qualifying as a chef, Lemar initially looked to the arts as a career path. As you can see from the beautiful finished product at the end of the video, he now pours his creativity into every dish he creates in the #CCCC kitchen. 300 #CCCC guests enjoyed this delicious exotic mushroom, ricotta and feta stuffed ravioli served on a bed of parmesan beure de blanc, and topped with rosemary & thyme pickled sh*take and shimeji mushrooms, parmesan shavings, chives and micro herbs.

We had the most amazing time on our team building adventure this week! Taking inspiration from the iconic "Amazing Race", our team explored picturesque Century City, CCCC&H style, with great care, commitment and consistency as the driving force behind each of their exciting challenges.
