International Convention Centre Sydney (ICC Sydney) is an exhibition and convention centre which opened in December 2016, in Sydney, Australia. ICC Sydney is Australia's first and largest fully integrated convention, exhibition and entertainment centre. Created as a multipurpose event space, ICC Sydney has over 70 meeting rooms, three theatres and two formal ballrooms. It is capable of holding three entirely separate, self-sufficient, concurrent events.
ICC Sydney includes convention spaces for 2,500, 1,000 and 750 people. It also includes a flexible space of 2,500 square metres (27,000 sq ft) and the largest ballroom in Sydney, able to accommodate 2,000 people. ICC Sydney is within walking distance to over half of Sydney's 33, 000 hotel rooms and is just 8km from the Sydney International Airport. The ICC Exhibition Centre and Entertainment Centre includes 33,000 square metres (360,000 sq ft) of exhibition space, which can be divided into smaller spaces according to requirements. The first major event held at the newly developed centre was RTX Sydney hosted by Rooster Teeth Productions on 4 - 5 February 2017.
The ICC Sydney, part of Darling Harbour Live, is being developed by a consortium comprising AEG Ogden, Lend Lease, Capella Capital and Spotless, with AEG Ogden playing the role of venue operator.
ICC Sydney is located in the Darling Harbour, skirting the centre of the Sydney central business district. ICC Sydney is positioned on the waterfront, near Cockle Bay and Tumbalong Park.
ICC Sydney will open adjacent to a new global financial services hub Barangaroo, as well as media, technology and knowledge centres. It features multiple public access points, with the option of visiting the precinct via a choice of walking or transport options including, road, light rail, train and ferry.
ICC Sydney was designed by two architectural firms, Hassell and Populous, in a contemporary modern style. It replaces the former Sydney Convention and Exhibition Centre that was demolished in December 2013. Construction began in early 2014; an estimated 32,000 cubic metres (1,100,000 cu ft) of concrete will be used to construct the building.
