First and foremost, ICC Sydney enjoys connection on a global scale through the ASM Global family of over 320 venues worldwide, giving us access to our industry colleagues and their breadth of experience and expertise from around the world.

The transformative impact of the pandemic has highlighted the power of connections and the critical role face to face business events play in sparking creativity and learning, facilitating business and trade and building culture by bringing people together in engaging and memorable ways.

The industry’s power to connect people can be experienced year-round here at ICC Sydney through our industry leading Legacy Program. As Australia’s premier convention, exhibition and entertainment venue, we believe we have both an opportunity and an obligation to deliver positive social impact through the events hosted at ICC Sydney. Designed to contribute to the intellectual, social and cultural capital of Sydney long after the conclusion of an event, our Legacy Program connects event organisers with a cross section of leading and emerging talent or charitable opportunities to provide enriching experiences during events.

At the heart of ICC Sydney’s modus operandi, is a team dedicated to delivering the best outcomes for event organisers and attendees as well as the community in which we operate. Through the Legacy Program attendees are linked in with local bright and enquiring minds, Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander businesses or cultural experiences, emerging creative talent and sustainable event practices.

The Legacy Program is complemented by ICC Sydney’s food and beverage philosophy of bringing the best of local and regional food and wine producers to the table. Business events are a driving force for innovation, providing researchers and practitioners with a platform to discuss and disseminate new ideas. They are where brilliant thinkers come together to solve the world’s problems — from health and medical breakthroughs, technology and ethics, engineering and development, to environmental sustainability and more. Our Legacy Program also connects event organisers with Sydney’s top universities, which are located on the venue’s doorstep.

Experience has shown that an agile, flexible and consultative approach backed by technological infrastructure and expertise best supports connection. ICC Sydney’s innovative technology and talented team ensure we are well placed to enable business exchange, investment, education and celebration.

With a sharp focus on client and delegate satisfaction, our approach to connecting people extends to providing multiple event scenario planning for in person, hybrid and virtual events which has become the benchmark of event management excellence. Whether your presenters and attendees are in person or online, they will receive professional advice and a warm welcome from our passionate people.

Situated at the nexus between business, community and academia, ICC Sydney, provides connective infrastructure, a built environment optimised for connection, trade and knowledge exchange.
