The Melbourne Convention & Exhibition Centre
Southbank, Melbourne, Victoria

The Melbourne Convention and Exhibition Centre is superbly located on the banks of Melbourne's
Yarra River, close to the heart of the CBD and just 30 minutes from Melbourne's International Airport. The new Convention Centre opened in July 2009 and is part of a $1.4 billion development in South Wharf that includes a Hilton Hotel, lifestyle retail precinct and shopping space. It has received world wide acclaim for achieving a 6 Star Green Star environmental rating by the Green Building Council of Australia, the first in the world for a convention centre.

The modern complex is a Melbourne landmark. A short stroll along the iconic Southbank Promenade places you in the heart of Melbourne city - Australia’s culture, cuisine and events capital – where visitors can enjoy a perfect café latte by day or an award-winning local wine by night.

The venue is an easy walking distance from a range of accommodation options, which will be available for delegates to book at the time of registering for the congress.
