Attendees no longer have a photograph displayed on their Sibos badge, and so will now also be required to show a government-issued photo ID upon arrival at the ICC Sydney.
The official IDs that will be accepted are passport, driver’s license or national identity card. Please make sure that you bring your photo ID with you to Sibos each day, as if you do not have an appropriate ID to accompany your Sibos badge you will not be granted access.
To help streamline security checks, please remember to keep your badge on, and visible, at all times and always carry your photo ID.
The Sibos badge can be collected at the Sibos Hotel where you book a room at the check in process.
Otherwise, the badge can be collected at the venue, at International Convention Centre (ICC) Sydney, 14 Darling Dr, Sydney NSW 2000, on Sunday 21 October 2018 from 9:00 to 17:00
