In October 2006, Sydney hosted more than 7000 delegates who converged on Sydney for the prestigious SWIFT International Banking Operations Society (Sibos) Conference. Sydney won the right to host the conference over a determined bid by Boston, and credits lobbying by BESydney, government support and our city’s superb congress infrastructure with the win.
Sydney hosted the 18th World Congress of Neurology in 2005, bringing more than 5,200 delegates to the city including 500 speakers, staying in more than 30 of our top hotels. Dr Bill Carroll, Congress Organising Committee President, said the choice of Sydney as the host destination increased delegate numbers by as much as 10 to 15%. “Sydney is a unique and exciting destination and people want to go there,” Dr Carroll said.
