The striking Elisabeth Murdoch Hall at the Melbourne Recital Centre was the setting for 120 invited guests at the annual 2010 VECCI Presidents Dinner. Seated on stage, guests were treated to live music from a grand piano over dinner and a special performance by international act, The Raah Project. Raah returned to the Recital hall after a sellout season, this time playing to guests from the audience stalls. 

Hosted by Melbourne personality Jennifer Keyte, with special commentary by Lord Mayor Robert Doyle the event was a landmark one with the introduction of newly appointed President Peter McMullin by outgoing President Jeremy Johnson and a special message from Premier & then opposition leader preceding the state election.
