Exhibitions are set to return to the International Convention Centre Sydney (ICC Sydney) following advice from NSW Health that ICC Sydney can proceed with public exhibitions, subject to one person per 4 square metres of space and no capacity limit.

ICC Sydney CEO Geoff Donaghy said the exhibition industry played a fundamental role in the venue's success.

“The exhibition market accounts for approximately one quarter of our turnover, which in a typical year can be up to 70 events, so this updated advice from NSW Health is a significant step forward for the business events industry following the impact of COVID-19,” Mr Donaghy said.

Committee for Sydney CEO Gabriel Metcalf said: “This is very welcome news for Sydney and our tourism and events sector which has been hit hard by the COVID-19 pandemic. Attracting investment through trade events and exhibitions keeps people in jobs and is a key driver to our economic recovery.”

ICC Sydney is open and currently running a range of in person events at the venue, as well as running virtual and hybrid events, in line with current regulations. Exhibitions that form part of a corporate event, such as conferences, are still subject to NSW Government capacity limits of 300 persons per event.
