VALA celebrates its first Biennial Conference in the new Melbourne Convention and Exhibition Centre with a social programme that celebrates Melbourne's culture and history.

Discover a hidden side of Melbourne behind the impressive historic 19th century facades in Collins Street and the city's fascinating lanes, alleyways and arcades. Experience a Broadway hit musical in the historic Princess Theatre, dine in the glamorous and elegant surroundings of the Plaza Ballroom, and dive into the book culture of Australia's UNESCO City of Literature.
