Activating the Promenade

Activating the Promenade

South Wharf Promenade connects the Yarra River with the Melbourne Convention and Exhibition Centre and encompasses a range of restaurants, bars, cafes and function space. The connectivity and collaboration of the venue allows for large exhibitions and conferences to swell outside the centre, developing activations and interactive pop ups.
