Africa's largest exhibition and conference footprint sits in Midrand - geographically perfect for splitting Joburg and Pretoria audiences. Gallagher is the venue B&W chooses when your event is genuinely at exhibition scale, when trade-show logistics need trucks reversing into halls, and when you need capacity that Sandton simply can't match. Not glamorous by default - but that's what dressing is for.
