Join us for a three-day conference focused on “Our decade of action for people, the planet, and economy”. The conference will bring together thought leaders, practitioners, and advocates from across Australia & New Zealand to discuss the critical issues facing our industry and societies today and explore practical solutions to create a sustainable future. The event will be packed with engaging keynote speakers, informative panel discussions, and interactive workshops. Our expert speakers will share their insights and experiences on topics such as social infrastructure, innovation & impacts, powering our energy transition, infrastructure for inclusion, infrastructure for resilience, nature based-approaches, circular economy, workforce capability, circular economy and more. Our society depends on the infrastructure we build, and it is imperative that we do so in a way that is responsible and sustainable for future generations.
