OZTek2017 has grown (again) and is relocating to Darling Harbour
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 2017 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. Oztek’s 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, the 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.
After 2 years of complete re-design & re-build, the ICC 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 www.iccsydney.com.au.
Inspired by a new home, bigger facilities and ease of access, expect more awesome presentations from incredible, inspiring speakers, sharing their adventures and experiences. Find out more about OZTek 2017’s speakers here.
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. More info about OZTek 2017’s exhibitors can be found here.
Plus, with the additional space, enjoy more glorious Underwater Images and for the first time, George’s Cameras Image Centre will be holding complementary photographic technical workshops.
The OZTek Photographic Exhibition will showcase the latest in up and coming talent for underwater imagery. Meet the competition winners at the show and visit the inaugural Nikon Dive Portfolio of the Year. Find out more:
And, finally, to top off what will be a brilliant weekend, the unmissable OZTek Gala Dinner Awards night. A ticketed event including a magnificent meal, unlimited beers, wines and soft drinks, guest speakers and the presentation of the OZTek2017 Awards. Relax, socialise and unwind – the perfect finish to a memorable weekend.

Over the next 12 months, specialist scuba holiday company Dive Worldwide will be supporting Bite-Back Shark & Marine Conservation with donations collected from client bookings to any one of its stunning dive destinations around the world. The independently-owned operator expects to raise £3000 for the UK charity.
Manager at Dive Worldwide, Phil North, said: “We’re especially excited to work with Bite-Back and support its intelligent, creative and results-driven campaigns to end the UK trade in shark products and prompt a change in attitudes to the ocean’s most maligned inhabitant.”
Bite-Back is running campaigns to hold the media to account on the way it reports shark news along with a brand new nationwide education programme. Last year the charity was credited for spearheading a UK ban on the import and export of shark fins.
Campaign director at Bite-Back, Graham Buckingham, said: “We’re enormously grateful to Dive Worldwide for choosing to support Bite-Back. The company’s commitment to conservation helps set it apart from other tour operators and we’re certain its clients admire and respect that policy. For us, the affiliation is huge and helps us look to the future with confidence we can deliver against key conservation programmes.”
To launch the fundraising initiative, Phil North presented Graham Buckingham with a cheque for £1,000.
Visit Dive Worldwide to discover its diverse range of international scuba adventures and visit Bite-Back to learn more about the charity’s campaigns.
