The Melbourne Convention Exhibition Centre (MCEC) was revealed as winner of the best Australian convention centre today in the micenet AUSTRALIA Readers’ Choice Awards for 2011.
Readers of the Australian-based business events magazine were asked to vote for their favourite convention centre based on their experience in the past 12 months.
MCEC’s chief executive Leigh Harry was presented with the trophy by micenet AUSTRALIA publisher Helen Batt-Rawden at the MCEC stand within the AIME exhibition in Melbourne.
“I am extremely proud to receive this award for the MCEC. To be voted best Australian convention centre by people within the industry is a real honour,” Harry said.
“I congratulate the MCEC team on all their hard work in 2010 as this made the major contribution to the votes we received.”
Winners were determined by the number of votes received by approximately 54,925 readers of the micenet AUSTRALIA magazine.
This recognition rounds off a bumper year of awards for the MCEC. Since its opening in June 2009, the convention centre has been recognised with some of industry’s highest global accolades for its exceptional environmental and design features, service excellence and imaginative catering.
