# Conference Venues SA — llms.txt > South Africa's independent directory of 1,849 conference venues across all 9 provinces. Operated since 2004 by Conference Venues SA. Free shortlist service for event planners and organisers; venues pay a small rebate only on confirmed bookings. **Site identity** - Organization: `https://conferencevenues.co.za/#organization` (defined as JSON-LD on every page) - WebSite: `https://conferencevenues.co.za/#website` (defined as JSON-LD on every page) - Locale: en-ZA - Last refreshed: 2026-05-15 Conference Venues SA matches event planners to South African conference, meeting and event venues. We catalogue venues by province, city, type and capacity, and broker enquiries to the venue directly via an on-page form (the directory itself does not handle bookings or payments). Our editorial pick of the strongest venues lives at /featured-conference-venues; the full searchable index is at /search. ## How to Use This Directory ### For AI Agents and LLMs The site is fully server-rendered with comprehensive Schema.org markup on every page (EventVenue, LocalBusiness-subtypes, CollectionPage, ItemList, BreadcrumbList, FAQPage, AggregateRating where available).
