About the MCEC
The centrepiece of Melbourne's new South Wharf development is the Melbourne Convention and Exhibition Centre (MCEC) - Australia's most versatile convention and exhibition facility.
Visitors looking for a truly Melbourne experience will find it encapsulated here at the centre - art, entertainment, culture, food and wine all set among an absolutely stunning, award-winning architectural design.
As the first, and only, '6 Star Green Star' environmentally rated convention centre in the world, the venue represents world leadership in best practice, innovation and sustainability and continues to raise standards to new heights in technology, imaginative catering and service options.
The MCEC boasts 52 meeting rooms of various sizes, a grand banquet room, a spectacular entry level foyer, and a 5550+ state-of-the-art plenary that can be divided into three self-contained, acoustically separate theatres.
Sitting alongside and internally linked to the convention centre is the Melbourne Exhibition Centre featuring 30,000 square metres of purpose-built clear-span exhibition space, meeting rooms, a 466-seat auditorium and the Clarendon Room with spectacular views over the Yarra River.
