THE Durban International Convention Centre (Durban ICC) has introduced a new online App that will make the lives of delegates, stakeholders, exhibitors and contractors easier.
The Durban ICC is the first convention centre in South Africa to integrate the what3words addressing system to assist its visitors to navigate their way around the complex.
The what3words technology uses its unique approach to help visitors find the exact location of points of interest within the centre’s complex. what3words is a simple way to talk about location – it has assigned each three-metre square in the world a unique three word address that will never change, using three dictionary words.

It features a powerful autosuggest function, which can validate and autocorrect user input and limit it to certain geographic areas.
The unique addressing system is also already available in over 35 languages, including isiZulu, isiXhosa and Afrikaans, making it accessible to a growing international audience.
