PLACES TO EAT
Sharing a meal facilitates the sharing of ideas. While it gives us great pleasure to provide morning and afternoon tea at the Congress, in the interest of keeping tickets affordable, we’ve decided not to provide lunch. We’ve elected instead to facilitate informal lunchtime meet-ups at cafes and eateries close to the Melbourne Town Hall on both days of the Congress. The following map shows great nearby food venues.
1. Café Animano
2. Laurent Bakery Boulangerie Patisserie
3. Sensory Lab
4. Switchboard
5. 1932 Cafe & Restaurant
6. Sushi Hub Swanston
7. Maccaroni Trattoria Italiana
8. Ikkoryu Fukuoka Ramen
9. Hopetoun Tea Rooms
10. Time Out Cafe Fed Square
11. The Quarter on Degraves
For more information about the meet-up topics at the different food venues, head to the Information Desk in the main Foyer.
