We found the MECC wonderfully helpful throughout the whole event planning process to execution, with all of our event stakeholders impressed and singing the praises of the MECC.

Don’t just take our word for it

Our delegates were taken care of, the food and service received was second to none. The MECC team were extremely helpful during the lead up to our conference and most importantly assisted us in delivering a very successful conference. They are really nice people to work with and I would recommend the MECC to event organisers looking for a professional and welcoming venue.
