Melbourne Convention and Exhibition Centre (MCEC) is Melbourne’s home of unconventional. We host more than 1,000 events each year, each one like no other. We have beautiful spaces, innovative menus and the best people in the business. Our team are not just the best at what they do, they’re the best at doing things no-one else has done before. All this comes together for moments that will stay with you long after your event.

The Melbourne Convention and Exhibition Centre, colloquially referred to as “Jeff’s Shed,” is a group of three adjacent buildings next to the Yarra River in South Wharf, an inner-city suburb of Melbourne, Victoria, Australia. The venues are owned and operated by the Melbourne Convention and Exhibition Trust.

Following the opening of its expansion in 2018, Melbourne Convention and Exhibition Centre regained the status as being the largest convention and exhibition venue in Australia and one of the largest spaces in the southern hemisphere.

The venue consists of 63 meeting rooms, outdoor courtyard spaces, a Plenary that can be divided into three self-contained acoustically separate theatres, the Goldfields Theatre a 9,000 square metre multi-purpose event space with a retractable 1,000-seat theatre and 39,000 square metres of pillarless exhibition space.
