The new state-of-the-art conference and events centre - CENTREPIECE at Melbourne Park - will soon be unveiled to the world, with its doors opening in September this year.
The Associations Forum National Conference confirmed the venue as its 2021 host, welcoming hundreds of senior executives and board members from across Australia to the events capital. The event will take place on 6 - 7 September.
Fatima Sunderji, 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. We are so thrilled to bring back physical events and what better way to do this than 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,” she added.
Lara Burnes, General Manager of Premier Events & Experiences, who has been eagerly anticipating the opening after more than four years of planning and three years of construction said: “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.”
