“Remote” and “remarkable” – these are words used by delegates to describe Maropeng’s world-class conferencing facilities in the Cradle of Humankind World Heritage Site. Over the years, the iconic Maropeng Visitor Centre has hosted a number of prestigious events, ranging from gala dinners to strategy sessions. Our world-class facilities have allowed us to provide a platform for an array of universal topics and helped us bring together world-renowned delegates for the grand unveiling of an important discovery. So, in no particular order, here are some noteworthy events that took place at the Maropeng Conference Centre.

Land Rover South Africa

From 10 September to 1 October 2017, Land Rover chose Maropeng to host two of its major events. The first was the illustrious launch of the 2017 Range Rover Evoque, which was followed by a fully serviced strategy session that rewarded delegates with an unforgettable three-week experience while they focused on developing new business plans and tactics. “One of the best things about a conference at Maropeng is that it gets you out of the city setting, which encourages participants to recharge and think more creatively,” says Maropeng MD Michael Worsnip. “Yet we’re close enough to both Johannesburg and Pretoria for people travel conveniently.” car
