global business events,” said Lyn Lewis-Smith, CEO of Business Events Sydney.

“I’m excited about the potential this new venue presents for a broad range of business events, and it will help strengthen

Sydney’s reputation as a pre-eminent business events destination in the APAC region.”

Melinda Madigan, executive general manager, commercial at ATC, said the new venue would play a role in the state’s post-Covid recovery.
