ICC Sydney

Tucked just across the water from our woolstore walls, ICC Sydney stands tall as the country’s most iconic event precinct. With three striking venues designed for global summits, trade shows, sold-out concerts and everything in between, this is where Sydney gathers to connect, perform and celebrate.

Whether you’re in town for a major convention or here to catch a headline act, you’ll find it all just a 15-minute walk from our Pyrmont doorstep.

One destination, three extraordinary spaces

ICC Sydney isn’t just one building – it’s a bold precinct of three:

• The Convention Centre: Home to Australia’s largest ballroom and 35,000 sqm of customisable event space, with sweeping views of the harbour skyline.
• The Exhibition Centre: A contemporary, light-filled hub for expos, product showcases and experiences with impact. The open-air deck on the top floor offers a rare pause between panels.
• ICC Sydney Theatre: With room for 8,000 guests, this world-class venue has hosted the likes of Elton John, Cher, and TEDx. The acoustics are designed to impress, and the program always delivers.

From intimate business events to full-scale productions, this is where ideas take centre stage.

Moments that move you

Each year, ICC Sydney becomes the backdrop for a rollcall of must-see events: cultural festivals, comedy tours, corporate think tanks, and game-changing exhibitions. And during Vivid Sydney, the precinct glows with colour, creativity and live performances that spill out into Darling Harbour.

No matter when you visit, chances are something special is happening right here.

Flavours worth the applause

ICC Sydney isn’t just about what’s happening on stage. It’s also a stage for food lovers, with options that suit a pre-show bite or a post-conference wind-down. Wander towards the waterfront for breezy alfresco spots like Planar, where the menu ranges from modern Australian to crowd-pleasing pizzas. After something quick and satisfying? Grab dumplings and beer at Harajuku Gyoza or sink into a booth at Fratelli Fresh.

For coffee between sessions, there are sleek espresso bars scattered across the precinct, and when the sun sets, Darling Harbour’s nearby cocktail lounges, wine bars and harbourside restaurants add even more options to the mix. Whether you’re heading to a keynote, a comedy set or a concert, there’s a flavour to match the moment here in Pyrmont.
