What a wonderful venue! Attended a migrants event by author Divesh Sareen. The venue was brilliant. Ambience and capacity was perfect for the event. Staff on duty were friendly. Lots of access to private rooms were on site.

Amazing location. Previously called Deakin Edge, now just Edge. It's perfect for conferences, large open space, funky design, and amazing acoustics!

A well designed, lit, airy gathering place! Great sound and seating too for meetings etc in the center of Melbourne CBD within the Federation square area.

Beautiful venue - would get 5 stars if we weren’t for the poor acoustics - hard to solve given it’s a glass walled structure. Small setback but nothing that can’t be overlooked.

We watched a concert by Legends of Brass at Deakin Edge, as part of the Seniors Festival. Lovely venue for concerts surrounded by views of treetops through the huge glass walls. Lunch and coffee in the cafe in the Atrium finished off a lovely morning outing for us.
