Meeting Rooms
Please be advised that the management of meeting rooms falls outside the purview of IDM Directorate Staff. It is the duty of the organizer to ensure the proper setup of the room, including the arrangement of desks and chairs, provision of catering services, and preparation of beverages such as tea and coffee. Additionally, organizers are accountable for restoring the room to its original condition post-event.
For non-UCT staff guests, organizers are required to greet them at the security checkpoint and escort them to the designated meeting room. Access to the meeting room can be facilitated by obtaining the code to the key lockbox situated outside the venue or by acquiring an access card. In areas with controlled access, organizers must personally ensure that all meeting participants are granted entry by being present at the door to admit them, as there is no dedicated staff member stationed there.
If encountering any difficulties with the utilization of the monitors within the meeting room, please refer to the Standard Operating Procedure accessible by clicking HERE. Technical support for meeting rooms is not provided by IDM Directorate staff. Additionally, instructions on accessing keys for the IDM Training Conferencing Centre, IDM Wellness Room (with the key soon to be available in the lockbox outside the venue, currently held by IDM's Operations team), Lekgotla 3A, and Lekgotla 4 Venue keys can be found by clicking HERE.
