Meet at melbourne cricket ground

The MIN Symposium 2026 will be held at Melbourne Cricket Ground.

The MCG is more than a stadium.

It's a special place.

A meeting place.

A place where greatness is created.

Inside the Olympic Room guests will be inspired by magnificent views of Yarra Park on one side, and the hallowed turf on the other. The room’s fresh modern design is complimented by an abundance of natural light. The Olympic Room also offers the convenience of the adjoining Betty Cuthbert Lounge, Betty Cuthbert Bar and is adjacent to a range of breakout spaces.

 

Public Transport Options

TRAm

Three tram routes provide access to the MCG:

  • Route 75 (City-Vermont South) travels along Flinders St and connects with the eastern suburbs via Wellington Parade. Stop 11 Jolimont Station/MCG is 300m from Gate 2 and 400m from Gate 3.

Train

There are two train stations close to the MCG:

  • Jolimont (otherwise known as MCG Station) is north of the ground and is a five-minute walk (350m) through Yarra Park to Gate 2. To get to Jolimont Station from the city, take the Hurstbridge or Mernda lines from Flinders Street, Southern Cross, Flagstaff, Melbourne Central or Parliament stations.

  • The other station is Richmond which is 850m from the MCG. You will need to pass Punt Road Oval and go through Yarra Park to reach the Shane Warne Stand on the southern side of the MCG. To get to Richmond Station from the city, take any train on the Lilydale, Belgrave, Alamein, Glen Waverley, Frankston or Sandringham lines.

Traditional Owners

MIN acknowledges the traditional owners of the land on which we visit for the Symposium. We acknowledge the Wurundjeri Woi-wurrung of the Kulin Nation as the Traditional Owners on whose Country this stadium is situated. The site that the MCG sits on and the surrounding parkland has been a meeting place for First Peoples since time immemorial and we are privileged to continue this tradition. We recognise the continuous living culture of Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander Peoples. We pay our respect to their Elders and to their profound connection to the land, waters and community.
