The GDN Network Annual Meeting 2026 is coming to Cape Town this October, and if you’re attending, where you stay matters. Getting the logistics right means less time navigating an unfamiliar city and more time focused on what you came for: connecting with global leaders in digital credentialing, learner mobility, and credential portability.
ANEW Hotel Green Point is the recommended accommodation for GDN Annual Meeting attendees. Located at 181 Main Road, Green Point, the hotel sits just 3.4 km from the Cape Town International Convention Centre 2 (CTICC2), a straightforward 9-minute drive via Main Road and Helen Suzman Boulevard.
