Set within one of Johannesburg’s most prestigious precincts, The Houghton offers a refined, secure and fully integrated environment that supports both focused conference sessions and high-quality networking. With accommodation, meeting spaces, dining and leisure facilities all on site, the venue aligns closely with the event’s emphasis on meaningful engagement and commercial relevance.
“Selecting the right venue was a critical decision for us,” says Noelan Rungasamy, WASPA General Manager. “The Houghton provides the right balance of professionalism, accessibility, and atmosphere, and creates an ideal setting for both our AGM and the broader Telemedia Johannesburg programme.”
World Telemedia, the organiser of the Telemedia global event series, views the Johannesburg location as a strategic expansion of its portfolio.
“The SSA region in general and South Africa in particular has long been a key market for the industries we serve,” says Anzelle Robertson, Head of Strategy at World Telemedia. “Hosting the event at The Houghton allows us to deliver the kind of curated, relationship-driven experience the Telemedia brand is known for, while working closely with WASPA to ensure strong local relevance.”
Telemedia Johannesburg 2026 will feature a tightly curated agenda, senior-level attendance, and structured networking opportunities designed to support real commercial conversations. Further programme details, speaker announcements, and partnership opportunities will be released in the coming weeks.
