About EXSA

Founded in 1980, EXSA (the Exhibition and Events Association of Southern Africa) was established to give the industry a unified voice. Our membership includes stand builders, venues, organisers, and suppliers who are committed to advancing the exhibitions and events sector across the region.

At EXSA, we work to grow the industry by promoting professionalism, sustainable practices, and high standards of health and safety. We also foster strong relationships among our members, creating a collaborative community that supports excellence across the sector.

Through affiliations with leading industry bodies both locally and internationally, EXSA provides members with broader market exposure and access to global industry insights and developments.

We champion ethical business practices, support event greening initiatives, and value close collaboration with exhibition and event organisers, conference and meeting planners, and the wider MICE industry.

EXSA membership is a mark of quality, credibility, and craftsmanship — with our members recognised and respected both locally and around the world.
