International Convention Centre Sydney (ICC Sydney), managed by Legends Global, has launched the second year of its Event Management Graduate Program in collaboration with the University of Technology Sydney (UTS).
Building on the success of the inaugural programme, the venue has doubled its intake for 2026, welcoming Bachelor of Management (Events) graduates Nick Broekhuis and Mya Lovelock as part of a continued investment in the next generation of event professionals.
The two-year paid programme provides graduates with immersive, hands-on experience across the venue’s core operational and commercial functions. The participants will rotate through key disciplines including business development, event planning, and event delivery, gaining a holistic understanding of the end-to-end event lifecycle at Australia’s premier convention, exhibition, and entertainment venue.
ICC Sydney’s CEO Adam Mather‑Brown stated that the partnership with UTS plays a vital role in building meaningful career pathways and future-proofing the industry through essential practical experience.
“By expanding our Event Management Graduate Program this year, we’re doubling our investment in emerging talent and strengthening the pipeline of skilled, holistic event professionals who will shape our sector’s future,” he added.
Meg Hibbins, director of the Bachelor of Management at UTS Business School, noted that collaborating with ICC Sydney allows graduates to bring their learning to life in an environment reflecting the highest industry standards.
“The expanded Event Management Graduate Program with ICC Sydney supports a clear pathway into the sector, one that our most dedicated and talented students aspire to as they complete their studies with UTS,” she noted.
