THE KERZNER@UJ: TRADING WITH A PURPOSE
Behind every conference or special event lies a purpose. For us at TheKerzner @UJ, it is to reimagine the future of tourism and hospitality, one conference at a time, one graduate at a time.
For every conference hosted at The Kerzner@UJ, a prospective graduate studying towards a qualification in tourism and hospitality gains the opportunity to sharpen their skills and is a step closer to realizing their career-aspirations.
The Kerzner@UJ is a conference and banqueting hub, providing in-house food and beverage services that can be especially curated for up to 250 delegates. This 4-star graded venue, the first of its kind to attain this grading, is located at the Kerzner Building of the UJ Bunting road campus. The venue is designed to enable flexibility and optimal space usage that can accommodate a broad range of event formations – from academic conferences, corporate meetings and functions to exhibitions, gala dinners, and banquets.
Famed for its culinary delights and bespoke food and wine pairing experiences, what truly sets this venue apart is the winning combination of professional experience with innate curiosity within the operational teams. For each conference, professional staff are paired with prospective graduates to design and deliver an exceptional experience in accordance with the client’s brief.
For our clients, this means double the value. First through the experience of hosting your event, but also the philanthropical factor of knowing that your event has played a meaningful role in someone else’s career growth and development.
