Melbourne welcomes back exhibitions
Melbourne Convention Exhibition Centre (MCEC) is set to see a return to in-person exhibitions for the first time since Covid-19 restrictions came into effect last year, with The Gift & Lifestyle Fair scheduled 20-22 March.
MCEC is already able to host events at up to 75% capacity per event space, to a maximum of 5,000 attendees, following the implementation of stringent health and safety measures.
From 20 March, capacity will increase to 10,000 patrons per event space per day, at a maximum of 75% capacity.
For events over 5,000 attendees, a regime of time-based sessions will apply. This means exhibitions can operate two daily sessions at a maximum of 5,000 per session subject to latest density limits (currently one person per two square metres).
