Over the past week, ICC Sydney welcomed more than 60,000 people across a diversity of events including conferences, exhibitions, concerts and gala balls. They felt match-fit and ready to host events safely under their EventSafe Operating Guide, which integrates parent group ASM Global’s Venue Shield program. However, this past week’s Victorian outbreak and subsequent lockdown serves as a reminder that there will continue to be distractions and detours on our road to recovery.
It is nonetheless reassuring to continue to see key recovery milestones met, most significantly the resurgence of Sydney businesses and the state economy. It is imperative that they retain their resilience as they aim for full confidence in national travel, the next step in recovery.
Even though challenges continue, it is important that we never lose sight of the light at the end of the tunnel. These bumps in the road remind us that there is still some way to go but with our ever-agile team working hand-in-hand with clients to plan and deliver world class events even in the face of COVID-19, it’s a path we’re confident we can walk.
