As part of our 30-year celebration at Melbourne Convention and Exhibition Centre, we asked you to share your favourite memories at MCEC and you reminded us it’s always been about more than events.
It’s the ideas that sparked something bigger.
The connections that turned into opportunities.
The moments you didn’t expect to remember but never forgot.
From then to now, every visit has played a part in our story.
Now we’d love to hear yours — come visit the 30 Years of MCEC activation at the entrance of Clarendon Street and share your favourite MCEC memory with us!
That’s a wrap! We’re proud to have hosted Women Deliver 2026 here in Melbourne and to have played a role in creating a place for dialogue, collaboration and action to thrive.
Across plenaries, panels, workshops and moments in between, our spaces were filled with courage, connection and collective purpose. From big ideas on the global stage to quiet conversations that sparked new thinking, this was a conference defined by impact.
Thank you to the @women_deliver team for an incredible week ✨
