Friday, January 22, 2021

Melbourne Convention and Exhibition Centre (MCEC) is now able to host events at up to 75 per cent capacity per event space, to a maximum of 5,000 attendees, following the implementation of stringent health and safety measures to keep customers safe.

Melbourne Convention and Exhibition Centre has an approved COVIDSafe Event plan from the Victorian Government and is approved to hold seated or standing events of up to 75 per cent capacity.

These approved measures include methods to ensure contact tracing, changes to food and beverage service and physical distancing, as well as preventing attendance at events by delegates from designated red zones.

Each prospective event organiser seeking to hold their event at MCEC can work with venue staff to ensure their type of event complies with the approved MCEC plan, and that they provide any required additional information to the Department of Health and Human Services so that their event is safe.

Peter King, Chief Executive of Melbourne Convention and Exhibition Centre, said MCEC is excited to see the gradual return of events to the venue.

He said that whilst we have been innovative throughout the pandemic to ensure continued use of the space, we are thrilled to be able to host exhibitions and other events again.

At MCEC we are incredibly proud to be acknowledged as a standout venue for COVID-safety, as our customer health and comfort is our top priority.
