The largest and biggest convention centre in the Southern part of the world is the Melbourne Convention Centre. Located on the Yarra River in Melbourne, it is also a part of the Melbourne Exhibition Centre, popularly called the MCEC. Most transportation in the Melbourne area is close to the event centre. The centre has long been a host of seminars, conferences, conventions and galas.

Thirty two meeting rooms and a grand banquet room are provided within the Centre. In each room is highly sophisticated AV equipment built in. Some rooms have smart lectern built in as well. Smart lectern capability allows an organizer to self manage their meeting through satellite controlling.

The meeting rooms go from small to large as well as the large banquet styled room. They interconnect with other rooms to form spaces that are almost the same. The plenary can support a full theatrical production with every detail and need accounted for.

The plenary is also moveable, with walls that can be divided to form three other theaters. Inside the exhibition centre is a 493 seat auditorium, and it is the only event venue that has been awarded Green Globe accreditations as well as WasteWise awards. Green building is an important aspect for the convention centre.

The Melbourne Convention Centre has the largest pillarless floor space in the Southernmost part of the world, with it measuring a huge 30,000 metres. It was designed by Denton Corker Marshall and includes its famous razor entrance. An entrance foyer can accomodate 8,400 guests, with views of the river seen through the glass walls.

The Convention Centre is the first convention centre in the world to be awarded the Six Star Green Star award, an award given out by the Green Building Council of Melbourne, for its sustainable design. The building features displacement ventilation, which provides a good air flow while using less energy, and a glass fa?ade that allows natural warm light to shine in.

A black wastewater treatment plant recycles wastewater, and lighting is energy efficient while fixtures are water efficient. The fixtures use a chemical system in order to be gentler on the environment. Carbon dioxide monitoring ensures fresh air, while paints and sealants are low in VOC’s, otherwise known as volatile compounds. Timber is taken from the Forest Stewardship Council as well.

The Melbourne Convention Centre also provides full catering service for those planning an event. The banquet room accommodates 1,500 guests and can be separated into two rooms. All produce is provided through regional and local farmers, and best quality ingredients are used. Wine is brought in from the Victorian region from small vineyards and boutiques.
