4th Digital Built World Summit 2025 | FuturePlace | 17 February 2025 | Doltone House Darling Island, 48 Pirrama Rd, Pyrmont NSW 2009, Australia

This Summit is where leaders from across the technology, operations, asset management, engineering and project management functions have come together since 2022 to learn how digital technology is revolutionising infrastructure development and asset management.

In 2025, we’ll be exploring how the integration of design models, reality capture imagery, IoT sensor data, and other sources into dynamic 3D immersive infrastructure is transforming project delivery outcomes and asset operations. The program features 40 experts from across the built environment, utilities, energy, mining and transport who’ll share their experiences and highlight how digital thinking can drive more value from data, optimise infrastructure performance and deliver better outcomes for business and society.

• This Summit is the meeting ground for the sectors responsible for the digital transformation of asset-intensive infrastructure in Australia and New Zealand – utilities, energy, transport, water and more
• The Summit traces a path from digital engineering beginnings to fully automated digital twin operations
• We feature case studies on digital twin AI asset developments, new asset response frontiers and digital innovation across critical infrastructure – especially complex networks of essential assets
• We focus on asset performance themes including using operational asset twins, ensuring real time monitoring, and AI data gathering for twin development, asset intelligence and net zero controls
