International Convention Centre Sydney (ICC Sydney), managed by Legends Global, has launched its Event Management Graduate Program for the second consecutive year in collaboration with the University of Technology Sydney (UTS). Building on the success of the inaugural program, ICC Sydney has doubled its intake for 2026, welcoming two Bachelor of Management (Events) graduates, Nick Broekhuis and Mya Lovelock as part of its continued investment in developing the next generation of event professionals.
The two-year paid program provides graduates with hands-on experience across ICC Sydney’s core operational and commercial functions.

“This partnership with University of Technology Sydney continues to play an important role in building meaningful career pathways and future‑proofing our industry. Welcoming two graduates into the program this year allows us to broaden the impact of on‑the‑job learning and provide even more opportunities for the next generation to gain the practical experience that is so essential in event management,” Mather-Brown said.
