About Sydney

Sydney, the capital of New South Wales is Australia's oldest and largest city with a population of around 4 million. Sydney is built around a huge harbour and hosts many tourist attractions as well as a number of beaches, bays and a couple of national parks.

Sydney is a global and welcoming city that represents a highly diverse and multi-cultural society.

With one-quarter of New South Wales’ citizens born overseas and more than 200 languages spoken, Sydney truly is Australia’s most multicultural city.  The largest groups of overseas-born residents come from the UK, New Zealand, China, and India. Sydney also has the largest international student community in Australia, with over one-third of all international student enrolments and commencements taking place in New South Wales.

Sydney offers a whole range of great tourist attractions from the world famous Sydney Opera House and Sydney Harbour Bridge to the sandy shores of Bondi Beach. A great way to get to see as much of Sydney as possible is to take part in one of the many Sydney Tours.

ICME15 delegates will be able to experience a diverse range of cultures, cuisines and entertainment.

The ICME-15 committee understands the importance of the overall experience for participants and especially the requirement for cost-effective options. We are working on a range of options that demonstrate the breadth of affordable services for participants that are within easy access of the venue, including accommodation, dining, travel and transport.
