Overview & Capacity

The Boardwalk ICC is Nelson Mandela Bay's flagship - the only purpose-built international convention centre in Gqeberha, 3,000-plus square metres for up to 1,700, sitting inside a Sun International resort four kilometres from the airport. That integration is the pitch: delegates sleep in the on-site 5-star hotel, the casino and spa handle downtime, and the ICC's own kitchen and AV run the sessions. Published day-conference rates make budgeting quick. B&W books it for any Bay brief over 400 where scale and a turnkey resort experience matter more than a bespoke shell.
