ICC Sydney strengthens team to support business enquiries

AEG Ogden has announced the appointment of two new business development managers for the International Convention Centre Sydney (ICC Sydney) as interest and inquiries increase for Sydney's new convention, exhibition and entertainment venue well ahead of its December 2016 opening.

Tina Eggers has been appointed as the National Business Development Manager and Michelle Nahas the Corporate, Government and Events Business Development Manager.

Eggers has more than 15 years of experience in the world of meetings and events and is a board member of the International Special Event Society in Australia.  She joins ICC Sydney following six years as Senior Business Development Manager for Dockside Group and four years as Business Development Executive with Sydney Showground.

Nahas has an extensive background in business development, sales and account retention and joins ICC Sydney after six years with QANTAS in corporate account management and as a flight analyst.

Geoff Donaghy, ICC Sydney Chief Executive and AEG Ogden Group Director for Convention Centres, said the appointments were timed to capture the market's response to ICC Sydney's brand awareness and business development activities.

Dongahy stated "with the arrival of Tina and Michelle, the team continues to strengthen and it is heartening to see each and every member of ICC Sydney thriving in this fast-paced, pre-opening environment.

“We are very proud to see another growing network of professionals join the AEG Ogden fold of 18 venues under management as we bring to market one of the most exciting business events venues in the world today."

ICC Sydney will employ more than 300 full time and up to 1,500 part time people when it opens in December 2016.
