DesignBUILD is offering a rare opportunity to visit the new $1.5 billion International Convention Centre Sydney (ICC Sydney), gain behind the scenes access and hear from the contemporary venue’s key designers.

The keynote speaker has been confirmed as Michael Lockwood, the Design Director of Populous’ global Convention Centre team, who will be leading two sessions in the three day education program, which has been curated through the lens of the ‘changing face of Sydney’.
Michael Lockwood will be joined by other notable speakers including:

The two speaker theatres and an incubator pavilion are being designed via DesignBUILD RAW an exciting initiative launched in 2017 to showcase the very best of emerging talent.
