Sydney saw an injection of more than AU$7 million (US$4.4 million)
from three international association conferences in the fields of
health, engineering, and chemicals.
Australia-based event management company ICMS Australasia delivered
these events and helped Sydney welcome more than 8,000 delegates across
the three events: the International Congress of the International
Academy of Pathology, the 20th International Conference on Soil
Mechanics and Geotechnical Engineering, and the International Meeting on
Lithium.
All events took place between May and October 2022 and spent more
than AU$3.7 million at International Convention and Exhibition Centre
(ICC) Sydney. The 8,000 room nights booked across Sydney hotels for
event delegates also provided significant economic contribution for the
region.
But ICMS Australasia owner and managing director, Emma Bowyer, said
the strong financial outcomes of hosting international meetings was just
one positive benefit to the city of many.
“Each of these conferences provided significant opportunities for the
local hosts to share knowledge with their international counterparts,
highlight their important research, and potentially increase local
investment and forge new business relationships,” she said.
“International meetings contribute both immediate and long-term benefits and it’s clear that these events have done that.”
Convention bureau Business Events Sydney were instrumental in
securing ICSMGE 2022, IMLB 2022 and IAP 2022 for Sydney, and helped
ICMSA increase international attendance.
