The Sydney Convention and Exhibition Centre, is located in Sydney's Darling Harbour near the Central Business District. The building is adjacent to Cockle Bay, Tumbalong Park and the Harbourside shopping centre. The Sydney Convention and Exhibition Centre was officially opened in 1988, with a new section of the centre added for the Sydney 2000 Olympic Games. The building is owned by the State Government of New South Wales, and the centre administration and business is run by the Accor Hotel Group. The Sydney Convention and Exhibition Centre is used as a conference and convention venue and to hold exhibitions, as well as hosting various smaller events such as weddings and meetings. The Convention Centre has around 30 rooms, ranging from small meeting rooms to a 3500 capacity auditiorium, as well as foyer areas and other spaces which can be adapted for use as an exhibition space or pre-dinner function venue. The Exhibition Centre consists of 5 open halls, which are used primarily for exhibitions, but also for gala dinners and other large-scale events. The Sydney Convention and Exhibition Centre was used as the biggest venue for the Sydney Games outside of Homebush. |
