ICC Sydney Attracts The Hunger Games: The Exhibition

The Hunger Games: The Exhibition will be the first public exhibition to take place at the International Convention Centre Sydney’s (ICC Sydney) when it opens to the public on 20 December 2016.

In its first viewing in Australia, The Hunger Games: The Exhibition leads a raft of exciting entertainment events at the precinct in December 2016 and early 2017, including gaming and internet culture exhibition, RTX Sydney 2017 and Australian International Tattoo Expo Sydney 2017.

The precinct will also host performances from international superstars Keith Urban, PJ Harvey and José Carreras from December.

The exhibition will immerse visitors in the inspirational story of heroine, Katniss Everdeen, as the largest build and installation in the first wave of exhibitions held at ICC Sydney, which features 35,000 sqm of internal exhibition space and can cater to multiple concurrent events at any time.

The exhibition’s organiser and executive chairman of iLive, Michael Karriagiannis said it was an honour to be staging one of the inaugural exhibitions at the state of the art ICC Sydney.

"The Exhibition is a global phenomenon and an immersive interactive experience - an experience that will only be enhanced by ICC Sydney's excellent facilities,” he said.

ICC Sydney will open in a dynamic and activated Darling Harbour precinct full of restaurants, bars and public spaces. Featuring improved pedestrian access, it is only a short walk from the CBD, Barangaroo as well as Central and Town Hall train stations.
