International Convention Centre Sydney (ICCS) in Australia plans to run at least 20 events to test and commission the venue over a three month period before it officially opens in December 2016.
Geoff Donaghy, chief executive ICCS, provided an update on the venue including an insight into the opening schedule for the new venue for key industry contacts.
“As the operator of the venue, AEG Ogden has three months prior to opening to ensure every element of the venue is functioning to its world class benchmark. This has the added benefit of ensuring our staff are trained in situ for every event type and previewing the venue to business and local communities ahead of opening,” said Donaghy.
Construction of ICC Sydney is well advanced, with the convention, exhibition and entertainment buildings fast emerging from the ground and parts of the façade being installed.
Structural steel installation and concrete structural works are progressing and about 1.8 million man hours have already been put into the build.
