International Convention Centre Sydney

Australia’s first fully-integrated harbourside convention, exhibition and entertainment venue.

The ICC is a state-of-the-art 250,000 sqm event space in one of the city’s most vibrant and central precincts: Darling Harbour. It comprises three gorgeous award-winning buildings, housing a convention centre, an exhibition space and the award-winning ICC Sydney Theatre. Seeing an event or attending an exhibition at this uncomparable venue is without a doubt one of the best things to do in Sydney.

The ICC Sydney Theatre is an 8,000 seat theatre and convention space, boasting advanced audiovisual equipment and cutting edge acoustic design. Just three months after its opening, it was recognised by Pollstar as one of the world’s highest performing theatres, and it’s won several other prestigious awards since then. The venue has hosted some of the world’s biggest performers including Elton John, Bob Dylan, Cher and Ariana Grande.

At the business end of the ICC, you’ll find the convention centre. This beautifully designed space features Australia’s largest ballroom with panoramic views of Sydney’s skyline and harbour and seating for up to 2,800 people. Inside, there’s a total of 35,000 sqm of event space equipped to host even the largest international conventions.

Next is the exhibition centre. This space is one of the largest and newest of its kind in Australia, with countless light-filled rooms packed with fascinating art and science exhibitions. The top floor of the building also features an expansive open-air deck with stunning park and harbour views.

ICC is more than just a venue, it’s also a place to meet, eat and drink. It’s home to several of Sydney’s best restaurants and bars including Betty’s Burgers and Concrete Co, Fratelli Fresh, Guzman y Gomez Mexican Taqueria, Harajuku Gyoza Beer Stadium, Master Rolls and Planar Restaurant.
