Confirming the win, Sandra Chipchase, chief executive of the Melbourne Convention and Visitors Bureau (MCVB) said:   "This five-day business   event will not only bring in valuable delegate dollars to Melbourne, but it also will provide a catalyst for attendees and their accompanying families and friends to engage in pre and post touring around Victoria.
