EEAA to participate in test event schedule

21 Jul 2016

International Convention Centre (ICC Sydney) has invited the Exhibition and Event Association of Australasia (EEAA) to hold its annual Conference and Awards for Excellence as one of its 24 test events that will ensure the venue is running to a world class standard well ahead of its December opening.

EEAA Chief Executive, Joyce DiMascio, said it was a privilege to have the Association’s key end-of-year events included in ICC Sydney’s test event program before the venue’s official opening in December. The EEAA 2016 Conference and Awards for Excellence will be held on 29-30 November.

ICC Sydney Chief Executive Officer, Geoff Donaghy, said hosting EEAA’s annual Conference and Awards for Excellence will allow exhibition professionals the chance to experience the new venue and the features that will make doing business in Sydney much easier.

“ICC Sydney looks forward to showing off a diverse and highly flexible venue, which will set new benchmarks for the industry more broadly. More importantly, we are looking forward to showcasing an extraordinary team that is 100% focussed on the success of clients as we put our industry leading approach to culinary, audio visual and event services to the test.” Mr Donaghy said.

“Holding our annual Conference and Awards for Excellence as a pre-opening event at ICC Sydney is a great opportunity for the industry to experience the venue and for us to help test the new facility under event conditions.” Ms DiMascio said.

“There is a great deal of excitement about the new venue so we look forward to working with the team at ICC Sydney on our events,” she said.

Ms DiMascio said ICC Sydney is located in Darling Harbour, and with the design of the new venue opening up beautiful new vistas to the city, it is a fitting location for EEAA’s Conference and Awards for Excellence.
