23rd International Conference in Radiation Effects on Insulators 

This edition of the International Conference on Radiation Effects in Insulators (REI23) will take place in Gqeberha (formerly Port Elizabeth), South Africa hosted at the Boardwalk International Convention Centre (ICC).

The venue forms part of the Boardwalk complex, meaning delegates can conveniently stay at the connected The Boardwalk Hotel, with direct indoor access to the conference facilities. The complex also includes restaurants, cafés, and a shopping mall, allowing visitors to easily obtain meals, essentials, and leisure activities without additional travel. Numerous nearby hotels and guesthouses are located within the Summerstrand area for those who prefer alternative accommodation options.

The convention centre is located approximately 10 minutes by car from Chief Dawid Stuurman International Airport (Port Elizabeth), making arrival straightforward for international and domestic travellers. The coastline, including the well-known Hobie Beach, is within comfortable walking distance, offering safe promenade walks, restaurants, and ocean views.

Ride-hailing services such as Uber operate reliably in the city, and the surrounding Summerstrand and beachfront districts are generally easy to navigate for visitors. Gqeberha is a coastal university city in the Nelson Mandela Bay region, known for its mild climate, relaxed atmosphere, and proximity to major safari reserves, making it a convenient and pleasant destination for international attendees extending their stay in South Africa.
