UTS Startups Summit 2023

ICC Sydney’s team of experienced professionals provided world class support on event day to ensure a smooth inaugural event. With the diverse range of schools participating from different regions across New South Wales, the team planned two arrival procedures to register all attendees. Student bus arrivals were facilitated utilising space in Exhibition Centre Halls 3 & 4, with an extra registration desk activated in the area alongside the Aware Super Theatre desk to save time and boost efficiencies. Schools arriving via the city’s accessible public transport options were processed at Moriarty Walk, next door to the building entry. The collaboration between the venue’s security team and ushers allowed the event to start seamlessly on time, with the same responsiveness ensuring safe crowd management at the event’s close.

Accessible and inclusive event operations have been built into ICC Sydney’s practices, as outlined in its robust Diversity, Equity and Inclusion strategy. With the successful launch of the Accessible and Inclusive Events Guide off the back of an extraordinary Sydney WorldPride Human Rights Conference delivery, the venue is committed to collaborating with clients to identify opportunities to improve and break down barriers together. A prayer room within Aware Super Theatre was activated for the day to accommodate people from all backgrounds. Situated next to amenities with discreet entry, attendees easily accessed the space for their cultural needs without taking disrupting their event experience.

ICC Sydney’s industry leading Legacy Program empowers clients to contribute to the intellectual, social and cultural capital of Sydney, creating real impact that is felt long after the conclusion of events. The event highlighted ICC Sydney’s cutting edge Innovators and Entrepreneurs stream and partnership with The University of Technology Sydney event inspiring the future generation of thought leaders to nurture a strong pipeline of professionals for years to come. The event delivery was preceded by an opportunity for the client to volunteer at Generation Next community partner and charity Stand Tall’s Sydney 2023 event held in Aware Super Theatre, sharing cross-stream knowledge to bolster the positive influence of the summit.
