Set on prime Sydney Harbour waterfront and considered a global symbol of excellence, the International Convention Centre (ICC Sydney) was the ideal venue to welcome the prestigious World Congress of Accountants (WCOA) back to Australia.

A testament to Australia’s global reputation, ICC Sydney hosted thousands of accounting professional across three days for the staging of WCOA

The venue delivered a trifecta of meticulous preparation, premium service and best-in-class facilities, activating the venue’s integrated facilities across its Convention Centre, Exhibition Centre to create a dynamic delegate experience.

The venue provided a world class platform for collaboration and networking while allowing visitors and delegates to tap into the expertise and knowledge economy that surrounds ICC Sydney. Visitors equally enjoyed a full-spectrum Sydney experience, from harbor views and Aboriginal cultural tours, to premium produce and 100% fair trade coffee to world class restaurants, cultural attractions and more. 

Congress Manager, Jodie Hunt said, “We were incredibly lucky to have access to Sydney’s indigenous community groups such as Aunty Margret tours. Here, delegates were able to access walking tours within the vicinity of ICC Sydney and absorb the history of what goes into Darling Harbour.”

“Having the right venue to bring groups together and facilitate dialogue between them underpins the success of any event, and this could not have been done any better than us working with ICC Sydney for ours,” said Jodie.
