Global Cities After Dark fosters and promotes the reform journeys of cities - celebrating local success stories in context with international case studies. GCAD works in alignment with a city’s objectives for growing its nighttime economy across diverse industry and stakeholder groups.

GCAD Sydney 2021 is a week-long capacity building and resilience focussed program of keynotes, sector-specific workshops, think-tanks and a  ‘Celebrate Local’ closing event, co-designed with local NTE sector leaders. 

The program during the week is focused on the following sectors within Sydney’s Night-Time Economy: 

• Hospitality


• Live Music and Entertainment 


• Major Events and Tourism 


• Transport and Health & Safety 
  

The Global Cities After Dark Sydney 2021 program concludes with the ‘Celebrate Local’ closing event - a live music, performance and culinary experience. It is the first opportunity since the pandemic that brings the key stakeholders and actors within Sydney’s Night-Time Economy together. ‘Celebrate Local’ highlights the roadmap ahead in 2021 as Sydney embarks on the implementation of the NSW 24-Hour Economy Strategy. Please join us to celebrate this new chapter in Sydney’s life after dark.
