The most prominent meeting place in Melbourne is undoubtedly the Federation Square. The area is a blend of culture and attractions as well as many museums, restaurants, galleries and the likes. The square is also considered as the premier events and functions venue of the city. There are over 2000 events that are held in the Federation Square on an annual basis. These events may include markets, various festivals that celebrate diverse cultures, film screenings and even sporting festivals. The venue has the capacity to accommodate 10,000 people at one time. However, for most Melbourne officials and corporations who wish to hold any business meetings indoors, there are many conference facilities in Melbourne such as the Oaks On Collins and many other venues to choose from.

The Federation Square is as big as one whole city block and is fully done in cobblestones that pave the way in the Kimberely province of Australia. The Square sort of forms a platform that stands above the ground and therefore its renders magnificent vistas of the Melbourne city as well as the beautiful Southbank area and the Yarra River.

Visitors can opt to walk around the Federation Square and gaze at the perfectly done Atrium which is a completely constructed out of glass, zinc and steel only. The gallery is home to many art exhibitions and the Edge is an amphitheatre which holds events from musical gigs to theatre performances to discussions and talks.

The Melbourne Cricket Stadium, Victorian Arts Centre, Yarra River and the Alexandra Gardens are all visually fulfilling sights that can be seen from the Federation Square. The eminent venue also holds the Ian Potter Centre, the Australian Centre for the Moving Image, the National Gallery of Victoria as well as the National Design Centre.
