OZTek2017 Has Grown and is Relocating to Darling Harbour
Playing a key role in creating awareness of new techniques and technologies that transform and push the boundaries of underwater knowledge, OZTek is a major international event and is part of the Beyond Ocean Network group (BON). The incredible BON unites the big boys of Asia Pacific’s diving industry and brings together the companies that organise the region’s best ocean-based events.

Through their collaboration, BON members use their marketing powers to highlight ocean concerns and promote worldwide marine conservation projects. It was created to grow and unite the scuba and watersports adventure industries.
We bring you the latest news that OZTek2017 has moved to incorporate its growing amount of speakers and exhibitors.
Press Release
OZTek again breaks new ground with a new home, more exhibitors and more speakers than ever before. With the relocation to the fantastic new exhibition centre at the International Convention Centre, Darling Harbour (ICC Sydney), OZTek cements itself as the premier event for all things diving related.
Technical, photographic and advanced diving topics will be presented along with the industry’s best suppliers exhibiting the latest in diving equipment, travel and training. The OZTek conference and exhibition is the “must see” event in 2017.
The show will open on March 18/19, 2017 in Hall 1, ICC Exhibition Centre Darling Harbour. Our custom-built main theatre is located right on the exhibition floor, along with the workshop areas, and these, coupled with the additional conference rooms directly above, ensure plenty of interaction between attendees and exhibitors.
Located at the heart of Sydney’s Darling Harbour and entertainment area, our new address is easier to find, easier to get to by car or public transport, with the new Goods Line walk taking you on a 10-minute scenic walk from the ICC directly to Central station, without crossing a road! Check out more information on the venue here: http://www.oztek.com.au/The-Venue.
After two years of complete re-design and re-build, the ICC proudly opens its doors in late December, making OZTek one of the first premier events held at the new facility. For more information about this superb location, visit http://www.iccsydney.com.au/.
Inspired by our new home, bigger facilities and ease of access, expect more awesome presentations from incredible, inspiring speakers, sharing their adventures and experiences. www.oztek.com.au/The-Speakers.
An impressive, growing list of Exhibitors bringing new innovations, new ideas, new destinations (or destinations not yet visited) plus all the latest in dive equipment, training, travel and photography will provide interest for all levels of divers.
