Hilton Melbourne South Wharf & MCEC - 9th March 2011

Busy PAs had the opportunity to explore not one but two great venues for business on the evening of March 9^th when the Hilton Melbourne South Wharf and the Melbourne Convention and Exhibition Centre (MCEC) opened their doors to Executive PA Magazine readers. The two venues are linked with direct access – so now organising a conference or event means you can find first class event space teamed with exceptional accommodation options and no stress for your guests.

The purpose of the evening was for PAs to find out more about the two venues’ latest offering – South Whard Meetings and Events. It’s a quick and easy solution for PAs needing a one-stop booking process and a range of flexible packages. Readers who attended were able to explore both the Hilton Melbourne South Wharf and the MCEC to see just what they can offer. Guests were greeted with a steady supply of cocktails and canapes – the perfect accompaniement to enjoy the wonderful views of the Melbourne city.

One lucky PA, Roberta Peroni from Oracle Corporation Australia, was picked in the lucky draw competition and will be enjoying an overnight stay in one of the hotel’s luxurious Relaxation Suites. And no one went home emtpy handed as all guests received a special discount voucher to the premium DFO South Wharf. "It was a wonderful event, and the Hilton Melbourne South Wharf team really valued the chance it gave us to show our guests some of the hotel's private spaces and luxurious rooms," said Rupert Hallam, Director of Business Development for Hilton Melbourne South Wharf. "Into our third year of an extremely successful collaboration with MCEC, we felt it was the perfect time to give our guests some 'behind the scenes' experiences. We went into the MCEC kitchens, and for a trip to our roof (20 stories high) too see the spectacular views of the Melbourne and the Yarra River. The whole night was a real success."
