Melbourne is home to many renowned scientists, including Dr David Hill, President of the International Union Against Cancer, Professor Peter Doherty, 1996 Nobel Laureate and Current President of the International Union of Immunological Societies, and Sir Gustav Nossal, one of Australia’s most celebrated medical scientists and humanitarians, recognised for his groundbreaking work in understanding the immune system.
MCVB – Working with Melbourne’s Leaders
In order to attract the world’s preeminent science, medical and business leaders to Melbourne, the Melbourne Convention + Visitors Bureau (MCVB) works with local luminaries, including those noted above, within professional associations to bid for events. A major initiative which facilitates this is the Club Melbourne Ambassadors program.
Club Melbourne Recognises Talent
Established by the Melbourne Convention and Exhibition Centre (MCEC) and MCVB, the Club Melbourne Ambassadors Program recognises the exceptional talents and achievements of more than 100 leaders in academia, science and business, and draws upon the knowledge, prestige and voice of these leaders to promote Victoria as a major conference and exhibition destination.
