Meet Congress Rental South Africa, the conference specialists revolutionising events
Events are designed to enthral, captivate and move people. From the gaudy lights and decor to otherworldly audio and visuals, there are numerous things that go into creating a memorable experience. No one knows this better than events company, Congress Rental South Africa. As the number one supplier of interpretation and conferencing equipment in Africa, they are experts at blowing away a crowd. However, when COVID-19 hit the country, they were faced with a tough challenge – to revolutionise events.
With more than 20 years of experience in the industry, Congress Rental South Africa is the leading supplier of conference equipment in Africa, hosting events for renowned clients such as FIFA and the President’s Guesthouse. “Our core business is simultaneous interpretation and microphone systems as well as audio-visual equipment,” says Cape Town branch manager, Sharon. While the company specialises in translation services, they also offer technical management, digital facilities and a digital studio.
When COVID-19 brought the country to a standstill in 2020, Sharon and the rest of her team had to streamline their operations and adapt the business to their changing environment. To ensure their world-class equipment was protected during the transition, they sought a safe and reliable self storage company to safeguard their gear. With Stor-Age’s convenient locations and state-of-the-art security, it was a perfect fit for the team. “Stor-Age has been accommodating and helpful throughout the pandemic, and it’s an affordable option,” says Sharon.
Today, Congress Rental South Africa offers a range of new services to allow businesses to communicate as normal, including remote simultaneous interpretation, social distancing layouts and live streaming. As companies begin to open their doors again, they also have the option of in-person meetings thanks to Congress Rental South Africa’s fogging and sanitisation services and high-tech conference microphones.
