The promotions support ICC Sydney’s commitment to invest in its workforce

‌International Convention Centre Sydney (ICC Sydney), managed by ASM Global, has made 30 team member promotions from January to April 2023, as it continues to deliver a packed calendar of events moving forward.

The promotions were in various departments, and included F&B supervisor, security supervisor and audiovisual floor manager roles. The venue also supported the recruitment of casual hires.

Geoff Donaghy, CEO and group director of convention centres at ICC Sydney (ASM Global APAC), commented: “These promotions recognise how important it is to acknowledge, reward, and invest in the development of great talent. This is particularly important as the event industry goes from strength to strength, and as ICC Sydney continues to experience strong demand for events in 2023 and beyond.”

ICC Sydney is set to host thousands of local, interstate and international visitors in 2H2023, including the 45th International Engineering in Medicine and Biology Conference (July 2023), SXSW Sydney (October 2023) and Impact X Summit (November 2023).

Luke Fleming, director of human resources at ICC Sydney, added: “At ICC Sydney we create careers, not just jobs, investing in our people to help them achieve their goals and build lifelong professional pathways.”

“We’re proud of our award-winning training and development programs. In FY22 alone, the venue engaged in over 2,147 internal and external training courses and invested in 3,441 training hours for its diverse team of events professionals. For anyone looking for a great career opportunity, the events industry is a dynamic field with strong growth.”

One example is Stephanie Risteski, who undertook ICC Sydney’s paid Progressional Growth Traineeship Program alongside her Events Management studies through TAFE NSW. Once complete, Ms Risteski secured a full-time position as a receptionist at ICC Sydney, before being promoted to Event Planning Coordinator.

She said: “Participating in the Progressional Growth Traineeship Program, I was lucky to be exposed to different teams, services, and departments at ICC Sydney, which opened my eyes to the opportunities available at the venue.”
