In just a few short months the Finance Magnates Africa Summit (FMAS:23) will be coming to the luxurious Sandton Convention Centre in Johannesburg, South Africa. Held on May 8-10, the summit will herald Finance Magnates’ first foray on the continent, bringing its world-class event expertise to an entirely new region.

As a key financial center and hub not just for South Africa but the rest of the continent, Johannesburg has emerged as a logical choice for marquee events. This includes the FMAS:23, which will help bring together elements of several key industry verticals in one place.

See You in Johannesburg this May!

Johannesburg is where the action is and the ideal city to be hosting the FMAS:23. This particular city boasts a robust history of attracting and developing business and leading financial ventures.

The city is also strategically located in Africa, providing a gateway not just to the rest of the continent but to multiple financial venues. This includes world-class banks, financial institutions, and corporations.

With a well-developed infrastructure, including transportation, telecommunications, and technology, attendees of FMAS:23 can make the most out of their visit to Johannesburg.

Finance Magnates has over a decade of experience hosting events in some of the biggest financial centers globally. With so much experience under their belt, the selection of Johannesburg to host their next big event speaks volumes to the potential of the region and its importance in the financial world.

As a reminder, event registration for FMAS:23 opens later this month and will be free to attend to approved industry-relevant attendees!

Sandton Convention Centre the Ideal Location for FMAS:23

As one of the province's largest convention centres, the prestigious Sandton Convention Centre is located in the heart of the vibrant Sandton district. This area is home to some 300,000 residents and over 10,000 businesses speaking to its energy and activity.

Sandton is widely recognized as “the richest square mile in Africa,” and it remains a top destination for both locals and international travelers visiting the city of Johannesburg.

Sandton continues to flourish and offer first-class services to those who work, stay, play, or shop here. For these reasons, the decision to host FMAS:23 at the Sandton Convention Centre made sense for what will be one of the biggest events of the year in Africa.

Situated in the financial hub of Johannesburg, the Convention Centre is also importantly located in the vibrant business district in the northern part of the city. This is just a short drive from the Gautrain and O. R. Tambo International Airport, as well as leading hotels, shopping venues, and entertainment complexes.

What better location to welcome leading executives, thought leaders, and the biggest names in the financial services industry!
