The Institute of Public Works Engineering Australasia hosts a number of conferences each year, covering a diverse range of topics.

IPWEA conferences are built on the 3 E’s: Educate, Encourage and Evolve.

They feature industry experts, senior representatives and inspirational thought leaders. Unlike conferences run by private companies, proceeds from our events are invested right back into the industry.

Our conferences help participants develop technical knowledge, learn about latest trends and emerging technologies and allow you to build your professional network. We focus on delivering innovative solutions through discussions and presentations.
