South Wharf Meetings and Events takes full advantage of the direct internal access between the Melbourne Convention Centre and the Hilton Melbourne South Wharf, while providing event planners with the ability to seamlessly plan and book their next small meeting or event utilising both facilities via the South Wharf Meetings and Events "One Stop" booking process.

'As well as being able to host large international conventions, when it comes to small to medium‐sized meeting and events, the convention centre offers 32 meeting rooms of various sizes with numerous break‐out areas and breathtaking, unobstructed views of the Melbourne city skyline,' Leigh said.
