What we do — Sandton Event Planning
We plan and produce corporate events across Sandton — including conferences, gala dinners, product launches, award ceremonies and team building. We manage venue sourcing at the Sandton Convention Centre, The Maslow, Hyatt Regency and beyond, plus AV production, catering, décor and full on-site delivery.
Your event partner in Sandton
Sandton is the corporate heartbeat of South Africa. As home to the JSE, the head offices of most major banks, and the continent's densest cluster of five-star hotels and conference venues, it hosts more high-profile corporate events than anywhere else in the country. When the stakes and the audience are this senior, execution has to be immaculate.
B&W Productions has been delivering events in Sandton for over three decades. We know which venues handle a 1,500-person AGM without a hitch, which hotels give the best value on delegate accommodation, and how to move executives between sessions without ever leaving them waiting. Everything is within a few minutes of the Gautrain and 25 minutes of OR Tambo International.

Planning around Sandton
A few things we always factor into Sandton event planning:
Gautrain access means you can bring delegates in from OR Tambo, Pretoria and Midrand without parking headaches — we build travel guidance into delegate comms.
Sandton parking fills fast during business hours; we arrange dedicated bays, valet or shuttle loops for larger events.
Peak venue demand runs September to November (year-end and conference season) — book flagship spaces 6–12 months ahead.
Load-shedding contingency is standard: we confirm generator capacity and fuel reserves with every venue before signing.

Open toolSandton event planning questions
Do you have preferred venues in Sandton?
Yes. We work regularly with the Sandton Convention Centre, The Maslow, Hyatt Regency Rosebank, The Venue at Melrose Arch and several boutique hotels. Because we book these venues often, we can frequently secure better rates and dates than clients booking direct.
How much does a corporate event in Sandton cost?
It depends entirely on guest numbers, venue, catering and production. A mid-size conference for 200 delegates typically runs from R300,000 to R800,000, while an executive cocktail function can start much lower. We provide a detailed, transparent quote after understanding your brief.
Can you handle delegate parking and transport in Sandton?
Absolutely. We arrange dedicated parking, valet, and Gautrain-linked shuttle loops so delegates arrive without stress. For out-of-town attendees we coordinate accommodation and transfers too.
How far in advance should we book a Sandton venue?
For flagship venues like the Sandton Convention Centre, book 6–12 months ahead — especially for the busy September–November period. Smaller functions can sometimes be arranged within a few weeks.
