Ellen Smiddy Room at Melbourne Polytechnic Conference Centre

About this space

The Ellen Smiddy Room is mainly utilized as a catering space as it has direct access off the kitchen.

We can do anything from network style buffet lunches to formal sit down dinners.

During the warmer months, there are large bi-fold doors that can be opened to access the outdoor courtyard.
