BESydney to manage bookings for two new venues


News this week: Business Events Sydney (BESydney) announced it will manage the business event enquiries and bookings for the Sydney International Convention, Exhibition and Entertainment Precinct (SICEEP) and the Glebe Island Expo until operators of the two venues are appointed.

Glebe Island Expo will be a temporary facility used during the construction of the SICEEP from December 2013 until 2016. Major public exhibitions and trade shows affected by the SICEEP development will have first right of refusal for booking for the Glebe Island Expo. It is also expected new events will be held at the Glebe Island Expo during the construction period.

Lyn Lewis-Smith, BESydney CEO, stated: “BESydney will be a one-stop shop for business events. Glebe Island Expo is part of the Sydney-wide interim solution that will enable Sydney to remain a vibrant hub for business events while SICEEP is constructed. The new facilities will deliver great opportunities for business events in the city, both now and in the future, and the team is looking forward to working closely with the industry to ensure their success.”
