Two of the more popular landmarks in Melbourne are the Melbourne Exhibition Centre and the Convention Centre. The Exhibition Centre opened its doors in 1990, and the Convention Centre opened in 1996. Since those times, these beautiful venues have hosted thousands of conferences, trade shows, exhibitions, concerts, performances, and other special events. The buildings offer state of the art and energy efficient facilities overlooking the beautiful Ybarra River. In fact, the Convention Centre is the first convention venue in the world to hold a 6 Star Green Star environmental rating. Development and design of the complex took into account energy efficiency measures, water initiatives, indoor air quality, sustainable materials usage, and several other environmental factors.
This complex is close to a number of fine hotels, restaurants, bars, and entertainment venues. It is also close to major transportation routes, making it easily accessible by car, bus, train, and even foot. The complex includes a total of 32 meeting rooms, a grand ballroom, a plenary hall, and three acoustically separated theaters. The exhibition center includes four movable walls to provide customized space suited to the size of the audience or show. Whether you are attending a conference or special event at the Melbourne Exhibition and Convention Centre or you simply want to check out one of the most advanced complexes of its kind, you will want to stop by this complex on your trip to Melbourne.
