11 Oct 2022

International Convention Centre Sydney (ICC Sydney), managed by ASM Global, reported that the passionate professionalism of its people, its delivery of world class, in house services and a focus on a more sustainable industry were responsible for their 99% client and 99% delegate satisfaction ratings at IMEX America today.

Located in one of the most celebrated, stunning and visited cities in the world, ICC Sydney has expanded its in house culinary and audio visual services, invested in the development of new client tools to optimise event planning, and broadened the partnerships within its Legacy Program, which seeks to reduce the environmental footprint of events and deliver positive social impacts across the Sydney community.

ICC Sydney CEO, and ASM Global Group Director – Convention Centres (APAC), Geoff Donaghy said by offering ever better world class services in an exceptional destination, the venue was welcoming resurging numbers of business events to a revitalised city.

“ICC Sydney’s team is excited to welcome increasing numbers of international delegates to our diverse, dynamic city and unparalleled location. And our clients and their event attendees – who both return 99% satisfaction rates, are reporting extraordinary experiences at our venue.

“When holding events at ICC Sydney, clients can expect a world class experience, with access to in house services that put the delegate first,” Mr Donaghy said.

Managing Director & Owner of ICMS Australasia, Emma Bowyer said the venue’s delivery of its first international event since the onset of the pandemic, the International Conference on Soil Mechanics and Geotechnical Engineering 2022, was outstanding.

“ICC Sydney has been extremely flexible and supportive over the last six years and throughout the pandemic. No other venue in Sydney is able to cope with such a large international conference and its requirements including hybrid — everything is under one roof, with an abundance of accommodation on its doorstep,” Ms Bowyer said.

Event organisers can bring their events to an ever-successful venue delivering world class culinary, audio visual and sustainability services, supported by its experienced and passionate team, backed by a rejuvenated city surrounding Australia’s premier events precinct.
