The Convention Centre
posted by Kerry-Anne
We keep mentioning the Cape Town International Convention Centre, so I decided that it's about time we show you what it looks like from the outside.The construction of the CTICC started in April 2001, and the Centre was officially opened for business on 1 July 2003. Since then, it's played host to an enormous range of conferences, trade fairs, exhibitions, concerts and other events. Some of those that Paul and I have been to include The Cape Town International Book Fair, Hobby-X (an annual crafts and hobbies expo), The Good Food and Wine Show, the Johnny Clegg concert, a production of Mamma Mia, and the International Shopping Festival.
The Convention Centre is almost always buzzing, and quite honestly, I don't know how we did without it for all those years.

What interesting architecture!
It's really attractive, don't you think? The building looks absolutely beautiful around sunset - we'll try to get a shot of that sometime, but it's a bit of a difficult angle to get to.
the cticc will double in size before 2010 on the other side of the highway. the cticc is shortlisted to host the international broadcast centre for 2000 journalists for the 2010 FIFA world cup. lets just say its chances are very good.
here is an idea of the plan:
