I visited the ICC Sydney today to attend the Sydney Fitness Expo, and overall, I had a fantastic experience. The event was managed really well, with everything running smoothly from start to finish. The organization at the entrance was impressive — there were minimal wait times at the doors, and attendees were getting in exactly at their prescribed time slots. It was clear that the staff and organizers have a strong adherence to policies and procedures, which really helped everything flow efficiently. Kudos to the team for keeping things professional and well-structured. However, I do have to mention one downside that left a bit of a sour taste — the parking fees. $40 for parking for an hour or so is just way too steep, especially when you’re already paying to attend the event. It felt like an unnecessary extra expense on top of an otherwise enjoyable day. I understand that Sydney’s cost of living is high, but charging that much for a short parking stint isn’t fair to visitors, and it detracted from the overall experience. Despite the parking situation, ICC Sydney is a great venue, and I had a positive experience at the Sydney Fitness Expo. I’ll definitely consider attending more events here, but I’ll be thinking twice about parking onsite next time.

Very seamless entry and exit considering how many people were there. Would be good if you could reverse the escalators so you have more available on exit. Confusing bar menu - displayed a particular beer, but when I asked for it the girl said they were only downstairs?! Seats are TERRIBLE. I am of average size and found the seating uncomfortable and on the small size, I would hate to see how a large person would fit in one of those seats. My partner claimed the seats were worse than flying jetstar. If you are taller than 5'8 do not get a seat along a barrier/balcony as your legs will not fit. Also, reconsider buying multiple drinks because the cup holders are awkwardly placed (basically at your armpits), and you will have to keep getting up and down if people need to pass. A shame considering it is a new facility and they had a chance to make it awesome.

The ICC function I attended was great. Food and beverage services were excellent. The one significant downside was the parking - the website promotes cycling specifically as an option, which was great so I could avoid public transport for covid safety, but the reality didn't meet their online description - the bike parking areas were mostly closed (locked with padlocks in some cases) and filled with detritus and refuse, including broken light fixtures, halogen light bulbs, wooden pallets and machinery. I checked with the parking attendant to make sure I was in the right place and she confirmed that it wasthe clearly labelled bike parking was just storage. There were two loops available out of the 50 in total. There were end of trip facilities (showers and a change area) but no lockers or anything.

Large convention centre that hosts events and exhibitions. We went to the Neighbourhood Earth exhibition and it was set up well for the walk-through exhibits including hands-on touchscreen and interactive activities, cinema presentation, and the massive globe of the earth. On a weekday evening it was pretty quiet, with plenty of space to distance and spend time enjoying the exhibition. The staff were very friendly, answered any questions we had and went around advising people of show timings. The main entrance is upstairs and there's escalators and a lift, and from the large outdoor paved area at the upstairs entrance, you can get some views over Sydney.

2 stars as i have learnt something. Here to see David Goggins, tickets were not cheap. They clearly have sold more tickets then seats available and when asking staff for extra chairs behind them they were not using and we were denied.. many people standing and sitting on the ground. They had plenty of room to add more chairs. I've spent less for a concert ticket and actually got a seat atleast. So poorly ran for seating arrangements I will definitely not come to another conference here. Worst experience for the money spent to sit on the ground n watch a screen. Could of done that at home.
