Peter Savoff, Darwin Convention Centre General Manager said that they are very proud of the Darwin Convention Centre’s achievements in 2019, with delegate attendance exceeding expectations for many events.  They are looking forward to welcoming their clients back to the Darwin Convention Centre to continue to deliver world-class events with outstanding dining and exceptional service.
