ICC Sydney continues to stimulate economy while driving positive social impacts

During September and October, International Convention Centre Sydney (ICC Sydney), managed by ASM Global, will have hosted 100 business events and 138,000 event attendees - all serviced by its experienced team of passionate professionals - stimulating economy while driving positive social impacts.

ICC Sydney hosts international congresses, national conventions, large scale exhibitions, entertainment events, awards and gala dinners with ICC Sydney Chief Executive and Group Director – Convention Centres | ASM Global (APAC), Geoff Donaghy noting that collaborating with a diverse spectrum of clients delivered economic, academic, social and cultural benefits.

“September and October are our most productive months since June, drawing an average of over 2,200 visitors every day through our doors and contributing more than A$100 million in delegate expenditure to the local economy.

“The full gamut of our services has been activated and this activity supports our long supply chain. Our team has been able to re-engage and purchase from local farmers and producers once more from New South Wales regions including Orange, Riverina, Hunter and Hawksbury areas. Importantly, we have been able to create employment opportunities for almost 200 new team members both permanent and casuals to support the delivery of client events.

“Our reputation for delivering extraordinary events enables us to welcome medical professionals, technology experts, environmental scientists, international entertainers, and so much more, to drive knowledge exchange, positive social impacts and the cultural enrichment of the city," Donaghy added.

Exhibitions including the Design Show Australia drew large visitation to the Centre while business forums including Tourism and Transport Forum's Federal Leadership Summit and Business Sydney’s Smart Cities Forum have also featured in the calendar.

Through the venue’s Legacy Program, activations through the period have delivered positive social and environmental impacts through events. From engagement with First Nations culture including Welcome to Country and Smoking Ceremonies to promoting regional farmers and wine regions to reducing waste to landfill, ICC Sydney’s bumper months of events have facilitated greater connections into the local community and positive sustainability outcomes.

ICC Sydney will deliver an array of consumer and trade events until the end of the calendar year welcoming international entertainment acts including George Ezra, The Lumineers and David Gray..
