Business Events Sydney (BESydney) is an independent not-for-profit company funded by the NSW Government, City of Sydney and the private sector.

We work with partners across government, industry and academia to position Sydney and NSW as leading business event destinations, securing global gatherings that bring exceptional people, ideas and investment to our shores.

Together with our partners, we turn global connections into lasting economic, social and environmental impact. By taking a table at the Dinner, your organisation becomes part of that shared ambition and helps strengthen the future for our city and state.

Open from November 2026, the new Powerhouse spans 33,000 square metres across seven storeys, with views along the Parramatta River towards Sydney’s CBD. The Dinner is an opportunity for you and your guests to experience this stunning new venue.

The evening brings together BESydney’s Global Ambassadors from science, health, technology, education, culture and business. It recognises their contribution to attracting major business events to Sydney and NSW, and welcomes new inductees into the Global Ambassador Program. The Premier of NSW is the Program’s patron.

The Dinner also features a keynote address by a major figure (given by the Productivity Commissioner in 2026) and other entertainment throughout the evening.
