Donaghy says the series is the cornerstone of the venue’s strategy to open up business pathways and attract more conferences, exhibitions and meetings to Australia.

To date, ICC Sydney has delivered more than 30 events for Asia-based clients across sectors including professional services, technology, science, health and education. Highlights include the Amway China Leadership Seminar, BabyCare Growth China, Prudential Hong Kong, Nu Skin and SAP FKOM.

“The Asia Roadshow series is shaping up to be a great tour and our team is looking forward to immersing our guests in an authentic Sydney experience to demonstrate why it’s a first-choice destination for business events and meetings.”
