International Convention Centre Sydney (ICC Sydney) is excited to profile Our Extraordinary People – spotlighting a key team member each month who exemplifies our commitment to excellence. This month, we showcase one of our incredible event managers - Stephanie Risteski. Stephanie joined us in 2022 as a corporate receptionist on a traineeship, studying to obtain a certificate IV in Business (Administration). Fourteen months later, in 2023, she was promoted to the Event Services Department and started building her event management and planning skills as an Event Planning Coordinator. As of April 2024, she is now an Event Manager, applying her skills from the past two years into her current role, describing it as her “dream job.” We’re very proud to have supported Stephanie throughout her career and look forward to continuing to do so as she reaches new heights of success.

To celebrate Plastic Free July, the team hosted a Plastic Free July Drop In Activity with our waste management provider Cleanaway Waste Management. Team members were informed on best practices to avoid single use plastics and had the opportunity to participate in a pop quiz. We also welcomed the AWRE - Australasian Waste & Recycling Expo (24 - 25 July) to our Exhibition Halls 1 - 2 over two electrifying days, where attendees embarked on a journey through the world of resource recovery. Plastic Free July is a time to focus on reducing the amount of single use plastics that end up in landfill and ultimately polluting our environment. Taking the initiative to start making simple changes in our lives can grow into long term sustainable habits, creating real positive impact on the world around us. Join us by driving real change beyond July. Small steps make a big difference.

Thank you to the Clean Energy Council for allowing us to take a sneak peek of the Clean Energy Summit for our Events in Focus series. We invited some of our valued clients to learn and to hear about what it means to hold an event at International Convention Centre Sydney (ICC Sydney). Thank you Melanie Wilson for your fantastic engagement with the group and for taking the time out of your day to take the group through your spaces. They loved your expo, the wide 15m screen in your plenary space and the 32m wide screen in your dinner space, your registration solutions and your branding looked fantastic together with Melissa Avard's branded hair! You inspired them with the edible centre pieces idea which are looked after by the International Convention Centre Sydney (ICC Sydney) culinary team and donated to a charity.
