Why Sydney
Credai’s conferences have moved across the world for the past 15 years, and been held each year at diverse locations around the world including London, Berlin, Tel Aviv, Jakarta and Egypt.
For the first time hosted in Sydney, Australia, Sydney won the bid for the 22nd CREDAI Natcon on several key success factors including, Australia’s destination appeal, Sydney’s vibrant culture, accessibility and infrastructure in world class facilities and amenities within the walkable and easily accessible Darling Harbour precinct.
The event truly highlighted the full range of ICC Sydney’s capabilities, highlighting the flexibility of its versatile spaces, bespoke culinary offerings and proximity to all there is to offer in Sydney.
Furthermore, with Sydney’s iconic harbour providing a breathtaking backdrop, the city offered an ideal setting for both professional engagement and leisure. As delegates mingled and networked they were invited to immerse themselves in Sydney’s rich culture and natural beauty, making their visit truly unforgettable.
“It was a great experience working with Business Events Sydney, they helped us to identify the right type of vendors to work with and what kind of grant support is available through Business Events Sydney, and the important aspects we should consider in planning this conference, and that is why we are very thankful to Business Events Sydney.”
