Pria PurnamaJuly 18, 2018This is a BIG place with lots of entrances and exits, so make sure you know where you're going else you'll end up walking very far.

Lots on at Jeff's Shed now called MECE. Exhibition shed often carved into multiple venues, and the Plenary (mid way and right) is a great space for speakers and events. Crown tram stop is nearest stopUpvote5Downvote

Deanne KongOctober 29, 2012GIve yourself a good 15mins to walk from Southern Cross station - the Exhibition Centre itself is a good 7min walk just to get to Convention Centre. Skip some lectures to visit DFO next door!Upvote3Downvote
Melissa LeeNovember 7, 2015It's worthwhile leaving the convention centre to eat. There's food options either way down the river. They're not much cheaper but you're getting better value for your dollar and a good place to sit.UpvoteDownvote
