History of CeBIT Australia
CeBIT Australia was born following the decision of parent company Deutsche Messe to take its world-leading CeBIT event into other global markets.
CeBIT Australia made its debut in 2002 at Sydney’s Darling Harbour Exhibition Centre, where the exhibition attracted an impressive 384 exhibitors and 13,155 visitors. Since its debut, CeBIT Australia has cemented its place as Australia’s leading ICT event, growing steadily each year, and expanding its reach.
