Each year the world’s conference and incentive buyers descend on Melbourne for the massive meetings and events expo, AIME<\/a>.<\/p>\n

This year the hosts (MCEC<\/a> and MCVB<\/a> (aka ‘The Bureau’)), treated media to a scintillating 10-course degustation dinner at PM24<\/a>, where acclaimed French chef, Philippe Mouchel, is in residence. The Press Club Group restaurant opened to much fanfare in December 2010 and has become an instant sensation.<\/p>\n\n\n\n\n
