10th Annual Victorian Major Projects Conference 2019 | Expotrade Australia Pty Ltd | 26 November 2019 | Melbourne Convention and Exhibition Centre, 1 Convention Centre Pl, South Wharf VIC 3006, Australia

The Victorian Major Projects Conference is back in its 10th year. Attracting over 200 attendees from across Australia, the event continues to be the premier infrastructure event in the State providing a platform to discuss the progress, challenges and share best practice solutions for Victoria’s infrastructure sector.

The theme of this year’s conference is “Building Victoria’s Future” and will feature projects and investments in major infrastructure that is critical for a growing state. Strong population growth combined with a record investment in infrastructure has cemented Victoria as the nation’s economic powerhouse. In 2019-20 alone, the Government’s infrastructure investment will reach a record $14.2 billion, helping boost the economy and creating thousands of jobs.

The 2-day conference provides highly valuable networking opportunities where construction managers, operators, contractors, consultants and investors can learn about what projects are in the pipeline and capitalize on the business opportunities being created.
