JOHANNESBURG EXPO CENTRE

The Johannesburg Expo Centre (JEC), also known as NASREC (National Agricultural Sports Recreation Events Centre) is the largest purpose-built hub for exhibitions, conferences, conventions and events in the country. Since opening in September 1984, it has hosted the Rand Show and played a pivotal role in shaping the cultural and entertainment landscape of South Africa. During the 2010 FIFA World Cup, it was selected as the international broadcast centre for the tournament.  A historic event was the gala dinner in July 2018 in honour of Nelson Mandela’s centenary birthday.

The JEC has reflected the ever-changing nature of the city and continues to flourish under the leadership of CEO Adele Hartdegen. Spanning across 50 hectares, the grounds are meticulously maintained by a team of professionals who ensure its historical significance is preserved while adapting to the demands of the modern era. It continues to shape the sports, cultural and entertainment landscape of Johannesburg.
