The conference venue is the Melbourne Exhibition and Convention Centre.
Winner of many prestigious awards for excellence, the Melbourne Exhibition and Convention Centre is located in the centre of Melbourne City. The centre was the first to be named the world's 'Best Congress Centre' by the Association Internationale des Palais de Congres (AIPC). Locally, the MECC has also been a recipient of the Meetings Industry Association of Australia's highest accolade many times over.
Why Melbourne?
There is much to love about Melbourne . Just ask the locals. This sophisticated world city in the south-east corner of mainland Australia inspires a deep passion in those lucky enough to live here. They love its vibrant energy, staggering choice of restaurants, funky boutiques, café-filled laneways, cool bars, unbeatable galleries, luscious parks and village-like inner suburbs, each with its own special character.
Melbourne, a relatively modern city which is less than 200 years old, never sits still. New futuristic designs add to the fascinating mix of architecture and ensure the skyline is constantly changing. Melbourne is very much about lifestyle. It is no huge surprise to residents that their city has been named in an international poll as the world's most liveable city.
Melburnians embrace three things in particular:
-
sport (Australian Rules football is almost a religion);
-
fashion (the look is chic with a dash of quirky); and
-
festivals (the calendar is packed year round).
They even embrace their notoriously changeable weather. A standing joke in Australia is that Melbourne can experience four seasons in one day. But really, it's just another example of how Melburnians have it all!
