What we do — Johannesburg Event Planning
We are a full-service corporate event company serving all of Johannesburg. We deliver conferences, gala dinners, product launches, award ceremonies, exhibitions and team building — handling venue sourcing, AV production, catering, décor, branding and complete on-site management across the city.
Your event partner in Johannesburg
Johannesburg is the economic engine of Africa, and it shows in the sheer volume and variety of events the city hosts. From high-rise conference centres in Sandton to industrial exhibition halls, elegant Rosebank ballrooms and the wide-open bush lodges of the Cradle of Humankind, Jozi gives you more venue choice than any other South African city.
That choice can be overwhelming. With 33+ years and 9,000+ events behind us, B&W Productions cuts through it. We match your objectives, audience and budget to the right space, then manage every supplier — AV, catering, décor, security, transport — so your team can focus on the business, not the logistics.

Planning around Johannesburg
What we plan around when producing events in Johannesburg:
Traffic and geography matter — venue choice should reflect where the majority of your guests are travelling from. We advise on this early.
OR Tambo proximity is key for national events; we favour venues with easy airport access and coordinate delegate travel and accommodation.
Load-shedding is a real risk at any Joburg venue — generator backup and fuel reserves are non-negotiable and we confirm them upfront.
Security and access control are planned for every event, from guest-list management to VIP arrival protocols.
