Acknowledgement of Country
Built on the banks of the Birrarung (Yarra River), Melbourne Convention and Exhibition Centre (MCEC) acknowledges the Traditional Owners of Narrm, the Wurundjeri Woi Wurrung people and we pay our respect to their Elders past and present. We extend our respect to First Nations peoples of the broader Kulin Nation and to all First Nations communities who visit MCEC. We recognise the ongoing significance of the Birrarung to Traditional Owners as a life source and a meeting place for millennia, and seek to honour this long-standing tradition of building community and exchanging ideas on these lands.
