“MCEC is a significant event location, and I commend the entire team for contributing to drawing hundreds of thousands of visitors to our state and bolstering local economies and employment.”
“In the first full year of operation post-COVID, MCEC has seen an enthusiastic return to in-person events, demonstrating our ability to bounce back and provide exceptional experiences for our clients,” stated Natalie O’Brian, CEO of MCEC. Melbourne’s standing as a premier international events destination is strengthened by the robust industry demand.
