Gqeberha, South Africa, February 2023 – NMB Conferences, a new business dedicated to promoting conference tourism in Nelson Mandela Bay, has officially launched. The company’s mission is to attract more conferences to the region by providing introduction services to event organisers, from connecting them with local suppliers to organising site visits.
With its strategic location, excellent infrastructure, and abundance of natural beauty, Nelson Mandela Bay is a prime destination for conferences and events. However, many event organisers struggle to find the right suppliers or simply don’t consider having their event here, resulting in lost opportunities for the region.
NMB Conferences aims to bridge this gap by providing a one-stop-shop for event organisers. The company’s team of experts will work closely with organisers to understand their needs and preferences and connect them with the best local suppliers, such as venues, catering companies, AV equipment providers, local organisers and transportation companies. By providing comprehensive support, NMB Conferences hopes to make organising events in Nelson Mandela Bay seamless and stress-free.
In addition to connecting event organisers with local suppliers, NMB Conferences will also offer site visits to help them explore the area’s many attractions and facilities. The company will consult with organisers to create customised itineraries that suit their preferences and schedules, ensuring that they get the most out of their visit to the region.
“We are excited to launch NMB Conferences and to promote Nelson Mandela Bay as a premier conference and event destination,” said the company’s co-founder, Caroline Morgan. “Our goal is to boost our local economy by bringing more business events to our Bay. We look forward to working with event organisers from around the world and showcasing the many wonderful things that Nelson Mandela Bay has to offer.”
The NMB Conferences team consists of Caroline Morgan, Melissa Palmer and Natasha Carmody. These three are well-connected in the local industry, variously being members of SAACI, NMBBEA, The Event Greening Forum and other industry organisations.
Despite being freshly-formed, NMB Conferences has already run a successful site visit and supplier session for a prospective client, and are pleased to announce that the Public Health Association will be coming to Nelson Mandela Bay for its 2023 conference.
“Business tourism generates significant revenue and economic growth for our city. It attracts large numbers of professionals and academics to our city for conferences, meetings, and events, leading to increased demand for local accommodation, transportation, dining, and entertainment.”, says co-founder Melissa Palmer.
Carmody adds “We will be representing Nelson Mandela Bay at Meetings Africa 2023 soon, where we will be pitching to local and international buyers”.
NMB Conferences is now accepting enquiries from event organisers who are interested in hosting their events in Nelson Mandela Bay.
