Bringing the best minds together
Here at MCEC, we bring collective minds together to make the biggest opportunities a reality for your event. We believe collaboration is key, and our team of experts will work closely with you to put on a conference that goes beyond expectations. Best of all, our partnerships with tourism and other industries across Melbourne allow us to extend your conference beyond our walls – giving your delegates the opportunity to take in even more of Melbourne and build their professional networks.
Game changing tech and design
Our innovative approach to design and technology will elevate your event and enhance your guests’ experience. Our Plenary’s unique architecture allows you to build your conference as you like, transitioning from a panoramic amphitheatre to an intimate auditorium or a flat-floor gala event.
With access to the latest event technology and trends, our technology team are an endless source of inspiration. From real-time social media streams to online discussion groups, we’ll find ways to incorporate innovative technologies that allow your delegates to learn and network in new and exciting ways.
