International Conference and Exhibition on Marine Drugs and Natural Products July 25-27, 2016 Melbourne, Australia

Melbourne is Victoria’s capital city and the business, administrative, cultural and recreational hub of the state. Melbournians love the city's vibrant energy, restaurants, fashion boutiques, café-filled laneways, cool bars, unbeatable galleries, spacious parks and village-like inner suburbs, each with its own special character. Melbourne is a young city and as such it never sits still. Modern, cutting-edge designs add to the fascinating mix of heritage architecture and ensure the skyline is constantly changing.

Sometimes, the best part of visiting a new city is when you leave the tourist trail. While the big attractions can be great fun, often it’s the more subtle “insider” experiences that leave you feeling really satisfied. The City of Melbourne presents events that activate our municipality, like Moomba, Melbourne Spring Fashion Week, Melbourne Music Week and more. The City of Melbourne is the home, workplace and leisure centre of one of the world's most harmonious and culturally diverse communities.

Melbourne's lifestyle, the climate and its future plans are all part of what inspires so much passion in those who live here. Over three decades ago, Melbourne joined hands with the Japanese city of Osaka, forging our first sister city partnership. This relationship has flourished into an international network spanning the globe
