STARS LIGHT UP ICC SYDNEY AS IT COUNTS DOWN TO SXSW SYDNEY

Sydney played a starring role last week at the Australian premiere of MISSION: IMPOSSIBLE - Dead Reckoning. It was the first movie premiere for International Convention Centre Sydney (ICC Sydney), with the venue and the city skyline providing a dazzling backdrop for the blockbuster event.

Hundreds of fans flocked to the Convention Forecourt at Darling Harbour to meet actors Tom Cruise, Hayley Atwell, Simon Pegg and Pom Klementieff. A fireworks display lit up the waterfront as 2500 people walked the red carpet to watch the movie in ICC Sydney’s Darling Harbour Theatre.

Following the successful premiere, ICC Sydney has begun the countdown to the inaugural South by Southwest (SXSW) Sydney 2023 technology and innovation, games, music, screen and culture events.

Events to be held at anchor venue ICC Sydney include the SXSW Sydney Conference, featuring over 200 presentations, panels, workshops and mentor sessions; the SXSW Sydney Tech & Innovation Expo showcasing innovative and emerging tech, entertainment and games companies; the SXSW Sydney Games Festival; the SXSW Sydney 2023 Music Festival; and the SXSW Sydney Screen Festival’s program of film, TV, digital, XR and social content premieres at ICC Sydney’s Darling Harbour Theatre.

ICC Sydney CEO and Group Director – Convention Centres, ASM Global (APAC), Geoff Donaghy said: “Beyond providing an extraordinary experience for the diversity of SXSW Sydney visitors, we welcome the opportunity to collaborate on delivering a positive legacy for years to come – from the economic benefit across our dynamic city to environmental sustainability solutions and facilitating connections into our local community."
