Gold, glitter, and greatness – we’ve done it! 🏆✨ Not only did we take home the Gold Award for Business Events Venue at the Victorian Tourism Awards 2024, but we’re also honoured to win Bronze for the Lord Mayor’s Award for Responsible Tourism.    This win is a testament to the incredible people who make our venue more than just a place – it’s where events thrive, visionary ideas come to life, and the world's thought leaders gather. From the banks of the Yarra/Birrarung, where communities have come together for millennia, to showcasing Melbourne/Narrm in our design, food, and views – we’re proud to lead with purpose and passion.    Congratulations to all the winners at the awards and thank you Victoria Tourism Industry Council (VTIC) for a great ceremony. Here’s to making Victoria shine on the global stage! 

We’re all about shaping the forward-thinkers of our community! We had the privilege of hosting talented RMIT University students for an Innovation Jam session, powered by Common Purpose and our Sustainability and Impact team. The day was all about giving these bright minds a hands-on dive into innovation, problem-solving, and career development. The challenge? To come up with creative strategies for rolling out our reusable coffee cup program across MCEC, including all three of our cafes. The goal was to keep things convenient for our attendees while reducing cup loss. The students spent the morning brainstorming and the afternoon sharing their innovative ideas with us. It was a brilliant opportunity to tap into the energy of the next generation of leaders and work together to tackle real-world sustainability challenges!
