Chief Executive Officer of International Convention Centre Sydney (ICC Sydney), Geoff Donaghy, has been recognised for his outstanding service to the meetings and incentives travel industry, winning the IMEX Academy Award for the Asia Pacific region overnight at the 14th annual IMEX Gala Dinner in Frankfurt.

Donaghy was awarded with an IMEX Academy Award at the globally renowned event, with the prestigious accolade presented by IMEX Group Chairman, Ray Bloom, and Managing Director, Paul Flackett.
