About us
2019 IMESA Conference in Durban
The Durban ICC is the Venue of choice for the 2019 IMESA Conference & Exhibition
IMESA President Address
It gives me great pleasure in welcoming you to our 83rd IMESA Conference held at Durban’s award winning International Convention Centre. I have no doubt that this year’s conference will live up to the standards and expectations of all our delegates, exhibitors and sponsors. The theme for our 2019 IMESA Conference is “Conquering Municipal Challenges” and I think that this is very relevant given the challenges that the public sector is currently facing in delivering speedy and cost effective services.
IMESA would like to thank all their sponsors that were onboard for the 2019 IMESA Conference held at the Durban ICC
