Welcome to the second episode of Plenary’s podcast – Inside the Melbourne Convention and Exhibition Centre.

In this episode, we’re diving into the question: as we venture deeper into the 21st century, how can contemporary convention centres step up to meet the new-age demands of design, technology and sustainability?

Considered a cultural and economic powerhouse for Victoria, MCEC is a global benchmark for value capture in the infrastructure world, showcasing how private capital can not only mitigate risks, but introduce game-changing innovations.

Join key figures who were instrumental in MCEC’s journey as we uncover the story behind its rise to prominence, and, on a broader level, the exciting potential for expansion, sustainability and reinvention in urban infrastructure.
