International Convention Centre Sydney (ICC Sydney), managed by ASM Global, hosted Professional Conference Organisers (PCOs) and production agencies at its 27 August ‘Trust in Partnerships: ICC Sydney Operations Update 2024’ event, designed to share event planning best practices. The event explored trust as the cornerstone of successful event partnerships – through operational updates covering topics ranging from immersive experiences, keeping people safe, employment law, and delivering low carbon, high social impact events.
