The Melbourne Convention Exhibition Centre (MCEC) is now welcoming people back to our beloved centre for live events and experiences. 
Melbourne Convention Exhibition Centre (MCEC)
In line with the Victorian Government’s Public Events Framework, events in our venue can now proceed under the following conditions.
o Events at MCEC are currently limited to 25 per cent of the venue’s seating capacity, up to a maximum of 250 people seated.
o A density limit of one person per four square metres applies to non-fixed seated areas.
o Free-standing events are not permitted for the time being.
o Event capacity will increase over time subject to public health advice, in line with the framework and future easing of restrictions. Visit the Public Events Framework for the latest Victorian Government advice on public events.
We’ve been doing a lot of work behind the scenes to make our customers next experience at MCEC memorable and safe.
VenueSafe Plan
We have implemented a range of public health, hygiene and physical distancing measures under our new VenueSafe Plan to ensure the safety and wellbeing of employees, customers, contractors and suppliers. Every event in the building will also be required to have its own COVIDsafe plan
These measures include:
- We have VenueSafe advisors within the business, to work alongside employees, customers and contractors to ensure that MCEC and government health measures are followed.
- We’re only open to events and delegates in attendance. It will not be possible to use MCEC as a public thoroughfare to the surrounding precinct.
- Entry and exit points will be reduced to allow for health check stations at each point, including hand sanitising and temperature checks.
- Frequency of routine cleaning has already increased across the venue.
- Signage has been prominently displayed to indicate 1.5 metre physical distancing and hygiene practices; and
- All employees will receive training on coronavirus (COVID-19) safety and sanitisation protocols.
Different times call for different events
While the world paused, we hit play on Virtual Events, and now we have dedicated studios from which we can run virtual events.
We recently transformed our exhibition bays into a film studio for a Hollywood blockbuster starring Liam Neeson. We also partnered with Guide Dogs Australia to use the venue as a training space for guide dogs and supporting Victorians with vision impairment or blindness through Melbourne’s period of restrictions.
And it doesn’t end there! We have a number of exciting activations planned over the coming months and we will share more details with you as we’re able to.
MCEC is more than an incredible event space. We partner with our customers to deliver unique experiences.
It will still be some time before we can return to the level of activity we’re used to in our building. But this is a positive step.
We continue to work behind the scenes to bring more activity to our centre and will keep you informed as we know more.
