And when the formalities wrap up, we'll be right there with the canapés and drinks, ready to toast your success.
Prime Location
Located at Melbourne’s iconic Fed Square, Zinc is your city-edge oasis right in the heart of the action. We’re central, close to public transport (Flinders Street Station is a mere 300m away), carparking and surrounded by the city’s hottest restaurants, bars, hotels and all the arts, culture and shopping your heart desires - along with Melbourne's major sporting precincts. Whether you're stepping out for a quick bite between sessions, winding down post-event, or hot-footing it to the footy, everything you need is on our doorstep.
Curated spaces
Zinc's open-plan design unlocks a playground of possibilities. Think large-scale conferences, breakout zones, lavish food stations and a designer cocktail bar - all under one stylish roof.
Our seating capacities and floorplan configurations mean we can accomodate everything from top-secret meetings to International conferences. Featuring an open-plan layout and versatile floorplans, we'll tailor the setup to suit your event - whether it's theatre style seating or a seated dining experience. When it comes to customising the space to match your aesthetic, the sky is the limit.
If multiple spaces are required to activate plenary sessions, breakout presentations, additional green rooms, or even outdoor events, we work closely with Fed Square who offer a range of venues within the precinct. From the dramatic glass theatre, The Edge, to the magnificent Atrium or open spaces, The Edge Terrace or River Terrace. Let's chat about the possibilities for a truly dynamic event.

Food & Drink
When it comes to food and drink, we're all about raising the bar. We don't do stock-standard function fare. Expect restaurant-quality dishes, refined flavours and premium beverages designed to keep energy high and guests engaged from the first coffee to post-event networking.
It starts with a bespoke menu, tailored to the pace and purpose of your event. From vibrant breakfast spreads and barista-served coffee to substantial working lunches, elegant grazing stations and seamless cocktail transitions, every element is thoughtfully considered.
We partner with some of Victoria’s — and the world’s — leading growers, makers and artisanal producers, sourcing exceptional ingredients that elevate even the simplest break into something memorable.
Presentation is polished. Service is precise. Timing is seamless.

Youth Projects
x Zinc partnership
We love putting on a feast, but we know that conferences and events can often leave plenty of good food behind. Don't worry - our social conscience is strong. We're proud to partner with Youth Projects to ensure no good food goes to waste.
Through their initiative, The Living Room on Hosier Ln in Melbourne's CBD, they provide free healthcare and support to improve physical, mental and social well-being of people experiencing, or at risk of, homelessness. If there's food left over from your event, rest assured it will be donated to The Living Room, ensuring more people in need have access to fresh, healthy food.
