Sydney for Associations
When it comes to bidding for national and international conventions, Sydney is undoubtedly Australia’s strongest asset and is your key to securing and delivering a convention that will be a drawcard to delegates.
Choose from an impressive range of sophisticated venues that can accommodate groups from 100 to more than 5,000 and which suit every style and budget.
Two of Australia’s most advanced facilities - the Sydney Convention and Exhibition Centre and Sydney Olympic Park - host a range of national and international events.
Most hotels in the city offer world class meeting and event facilities which can host any style of function from a board meeting to ball.
Sydney offers an exciting and unique range of convention facilities and specialty venues, supported by more than 30,000 accommodation rooms in the Sydney region alone (21,200 in central Sydney). Together, this presents meeting planners with a wonderful opportunity to offer delegates a successful and memorable experience in the ultimate convention destination.
