CEO of ICC Sydney Geoff Donaghy said, “We open with more than 500 secured bookings and by our third year of operation, we expect to be running 1,000 events annually, enriching Sydney’s financial and knowledge economies.”
The venue is the centrepiece of the AU$3.4 billion (US$2.5bn), 20-hectare transformation of Sydney’s Darling Harbour.
ICC Sydney has been purpose-built on a 10Gbps optical fibre backbone, with high calibre and functional IT network hardwired into every room.
It offers five star convention and exhibition centres, 8,000sqm of meeting room space and 35,000sqm of exhibition space.
ICC Sydney is also home to three world-class theatres, one of which houses Australia’s biggest stage area, the nation’s largest grand ballroom, and a 5,000sqm event deck.
