Events New South Wales

Events New South Wales works to position Sydney and New South Wales as a preferred event destination by working with government and industry partners to develop existing events, attract new events and maximise the economic, strategic and community benefits of events.

Our objectives are to:

  • identify, attract and nurture events which will provide significant economic and/or community benefits to Sydney;
  • identify, attract and nurture events which will provide significant economic and/or community benefits to New South Wales;
  • develop a Master Calendar of events to ensure the benefits provided by events are consistent year-round and long-term;
  • encourage the leveraging of these events to maximise the overall economic and community benefits of events to New South Wales;
  • encourage investment, infrastructure development and other activities which will ensure Sydney and New South Wales will continue to be a leading host of major global events.

To achieve this requires a new approach to event identification, development and marketing.
Events New South Wales will not seek new events simply for the sake of having events.

Rather, we are highly focused on developing events which will best deliver economic, strategic and community benefits for Sydney and New South Wales now and in the long term.  We also need to get the balance of cultural, sporting, lifestyle, entertainment and business events right to ensure our future growth as a global destination.

Our approach is based on a clear strategic direction, active collaboration with government and industry and creative leveraging to ensure the benefits from events are maximised.

Most importantly, we’re building on the excellent international reputation Sydney deservedly enjoys as an event destination.  Each year, hundreds of events are held in Sydney and throughout regional New South Wales which showcase the expertise, facilities, creativity, energy and professional excellence which make us a world class city and state.

We’re working to ensure Sydney and New South Wales continue to be considered a home of great events.
