Centrepiece Melbourne will officially open in September 2021, as venue host for the 2021 Associations Forum National Conference, taking place 6-7 September.
General Manager of the Associations Forum, , said that the decision to partner with CENTREPIECE at Melbourne Park was a perfect match, with excitement already building across the industry to reconnect face-to-face.
“The Associations Forum’s mission is bringing associations together to share knowledge and best practice within the industry, through our range of member services and educational events,” said Association Furm general manager Fatima Sunderji. “We are so thrilled to bring back physical events and what better way to do this then by holding our 16th National Conference in Melbourne. In partnership with CENTREPIECE at Melbourne Park, this premier event will shine the spotlight on this major destination for business events.
“We are so honoured to be the first National Conference to make its mark on this state of the art venue and can’t wait for our associations, charities and not-for-profit organisations to experience this firsthand.”
General Manager of Premier Events & Experiences, Lara Burnes, has been eagerly anticipating the grand opening after more than four years of planning and three years of construction, and she is excited to welcome the world to Melbourne’s new home of extraordinary events.
“It’s been a long time coming – and the team and I are buzzing with excitement to welcome Australians, and guests from abroad, to experience unparalleled events that leave you in awe.
“With CENTREPIECE located within our iconic Melbourne & Olympic Parks precinct, the new venue will also become the official media centre for the Australian Open 2022. This year we were able to enjoy a sneak peek into how our venue will support the Aus Open, as well as interact with its surrounding sister venues.”
