Melbourne is a world-leading destination for conferences, meetings, expos and incentive travel.
Voted one of the world's most liveable cities, Melbourne is celebrated for friendly locals, cultural creativity, fine wine and dining and world-class meeting facilities.
Melbourne's New Convention Centre
Constantly evolving, Melbourne opened its new Convention Centre in June 2009 - part of an exciting AUD1.4b South Wharf development on the picturesque Yarra River.
This expansive new development, which includes a premium hotel, has created Australia's largest, and one of the world's most versatile, convention and exhibition districts, offering spectacular riverfront shopping, fine dining and leisure precincts.
South Wharf is also within walking distance of Melbourne's hidden laneways, where delegates can experience Melbourne's chic cafés, boutique bars and avant garde galleries.

Getting Around Melbourne
Melbourne boasts an outstanding road, rail and public transport system. With an integrated network of trams, trains and buses, public transport is clean, safe and efficient, and is ranked by delegates as a Melbourne highlight.
Melbourne Airport consistently ranks as one of the world's best. It offers 484 international flights per week and is just 25 minutes from the city.
