Events in Midrand

Midrand sits between Johannesburg and Pretoria, which makes it a convenient meeting point for conferences, exhibitions and company events. The Gallagher Convention Centre and several hotels and business parks host expos and corporate gatherings throughout the year, while Waterfall and Kyalami draw product launches and motoring events. Newer estates and complexes mean many birthday parties and kids' events take place on lawns and clubhouse gardens. Weddings often use venues in Kyalami and the nearby country areas. Planners and hire companies work from Midrand's industrial areas and nearby Kempton Park, and delivery is quick along the highway. Summer storms often arrive in the afternoon, so plan for cover.

Typical event security requests in the area come from:

• Conferences, launches and expos: badge checks at the doors, guards on the exhibition floor and VIP escorts for speakers
• Corporate functions and year-end parties: access control at a launch or year-end function, with a guard on the bar and the parking
• Weddings and traditional ceremonies: two guards at the gate and the grounds to watch the gifts, the cars and gatecrashers
• Birthdays and private parties: a guard at the gate of a house or farm party to keep it to the guest list
• Kids' parties and baby showers: a guard at the entrance and the car park of a large kids' party in a park or at a venue
• Funerals, church and cultural gatherings: marshals and guards for a funeral, an unveiling or a church event with a large crowd and parked cars
• School events and matric dances: gate control and parking marshals for a fun day, a prize-giving or a matric dance

A quote normally covers guards, uniforms, radios, a supervisor, and guards arrive 1 to 2 hours before guests. Locally: afternoon storms in summer: ask for tents with sidewalls and drainage.
