Geelong Convention and Exhibition Centre Update

The much-awaited Geelong Convention and Exhibition Centre will open in 2026. The Geelong waterfront precinct will feature a 1,000 seat plenary & 3,700sqm of multi-purpose space to accommodate small and large events, as well as a 200-room upscale hotel.

The addition of the Geelong Convention and Exhibition centre will enhance Geelong’s position as a premier city and an events leader in Victoria by enabling more international events, exhibitors, and attendees.

Early works for the anticipated Geelong Convention and Exhibition Centre have officially commenced.

The preparatory works include geotechnical investigations, which are an essential part of the construction and will help prepare the land for the project’s development, ensuring that future designs take into account all relevant site considerations.
