Readers were in for a taste sensation at Sydney’s International Conference Centre, with an evening focusing on fine food and wine
Hats off to our Sydney EAs who braved the Sydney weather and turned out in force for a great evening. Joining them was Melinda Jane, Executive Assistant to the CEO at ICC and who performed the welcome and introduced the venue.
The audience were delighted by the food and wine experience. Stimulated by their engaging hosts executive chef, Tony Panetta and William Wilson, beverage operations and cellar manager, the evening was filled with merriment and approving nods as our guests got to sample exactly what the venue can do when it comes to pairing food and wine.
“This was a great opportunity to have warm and meaningful conversations with Executive PA Media guests, which is important in today’s fast paced, digital environment. The reception from the EAs was beyond what we had expected and we graciously received complements about our premium venue, our staff, and of course the world-class food and wine offering. We look forward to seeing you next time.” -Gabriella Alberici, business development manager – Corporate, Government and Events ICC

The speeches were well received and it was a nice touch having a chef and wine connoisseur speak about what we were about to enjoy.” -Felicity Woodward, EA, Deloitt
“What an amazing event! We were very impressed with the new ICC Sydney convention and Exhibition Centre tour. The wine was beautifully paired, and it was one of the best function venues and Executive PA Media event I have attended.” -Christine Achilleos, PA, AMP
“One would be worried if the event wasn’t a hit – being managed by the ICC staff themselves. The event was extremely well organised and I couldn’t fault the service. We witnessed the behind-the-scene passion of the chef and the sommelier who inspired all the dishes we ate on the evening and were delighted to hear of their buy local and display NSW produce policy. Great event!” -Elizabeth Van Phao, EA, Oracle
