International Convention Centre Sydney (ICC Sydney), managed by ASM Global, has won the ‘Best Convention Centre (Outside of the USA)’ category in the Skift Meetings Awards program – overcoming strong competition from venues around the world. 

The Skift Meetings Award lauded ICC Sydney for its holistic approach to operational, environmental and customer service excellence that sets it apart as a leader in the global event industry.             

The ICC Sydney team impressed the judging panel with the unparalleled features of its state-of-the-art facilities, advanced high-tech services, personalised and agile expert support, excellent dining experiences that emphasise sustainability and local sourcing, sustainability ethos, community engagement, social responsibility, and approach to accessibility, diversity, and inclusion.  

Geoff Donaghy, Chief Executive of ICC Sydney and Group Director – Convention Centres, ASM Global (APAC), praised the commitment and innovation of the people behind the accolades noting “to be honoured with this prestigious award for our world class services reflects not only the quality of the venue’s unique infrastructure, but also the industry benchmark we have set for event delivery.

“This achievement would not be possible without the consistent dedication and ingenuity of our highly skilled team members who are committed to delivering exemplary events – all while making a difference to our local community.

“Corporate Social Responsibility is core to ICC Sydney’s business management framework, values and culture. This award is a welcome testament of the way our team delivers on initiatives that contribute toward a global agenda for building sustainable cities and communities.   

“Underpinned by the United Nations Sustainable Development Goals, I’m incredibly proud of our Corporate Social Responsibility Plan that ensures our team prioritises efforts in areas where we can have the most significant environmental impact - particularly through waste and energy reduction; and by engaging clients with our Legacy Program, which presents opportunities to make meaningful contributions to society through the pillars of Environmental Sustainability, First Nations, Inclusion and Belonging, Innovators and Entrepreneurs and Creative Industries,” Mr Donaghy said.    

The 2024 Skift Meetings Awards were open to event tech providers, individual hotels, hotel chains, convention centres, destination marketing organisations (DMOs) and Cruise Lines. Now in its second year, Skift Meetings Awards celebrates the business events industry’s most respected and innovative suppliers.
