Melbourne Centre gets connected
Visitors to the Melbourne Convention and Exhibition Centre (MCEC) will have access to free wireless Internet from February 1.
MCEC says the initiative is a first for any centre in Australia.
Delegates, event attendees and the general public will be able to stay connected while out of the office.
MCEC’s chief executive, Leigh Harry, says the initiative reflects an understanding of the time-poor nature of most delegates.
“Our focus at the MCEC is on ensuring the experience is not one that competes with people’s day-to-day lives,†Harry said.
“We understand that internet connectivity is crucial to our delegates, and this complimentary service allows them to keep in touch with their offices at all times.â€
Internet coverage will extend throughout the venue, including meeting rooms, exhibition bays, the plenary and all other public spaces.
Event planners will have the option of upgrading to a platinum Wi-Fi service that can be designed specifically for their delegates and offers unrestricted Internet access, including Skype.
