The Trust manages the Melbourne Convention and Exhibition Centre (MCEC) and will manage both GCEC and MCEC to leverage expertise and opportunities to collaborate.
Funded by the Geelong City Dealexternal link, the $294 million GCEC will be developed on the Geelong Waterfront precinct and incorporate a 1000 seat plenary venue and at least 3700 square metres of flexible event space to allow large and small events to run concurrently.
MCEC Chief Executive Peter King advised “we have more than 25 years’ experience hosting and delivering world class business events and we’re excited to start operating in Geelong and the Bellarine.
“We look forward to engaging the local community, businesses, and event organisers as the Centre is developed.
“The new facility will expand Geelong’s annual events offering and provide extraordinary experiences to the community and wider region.”
