About the Conference

The IPWEA International Public Works Conference has a rich history of bringing together professionals, innovators, and leaders from the public works sector to share knowledge, foster collaboration, and shape the future of infrastructure and community development.

Our central conference theme for IPWC25 was Shaping Tomorrow’s World, the theme captures the urgency and opportunity of creating a resilient, forward-thinking foundation for public works and engineering. In a rapidly transforming global landscape, the choices we make today lay the groundwork for a sustainable, thriving future.

Held every two years, this prestigious event consistently provides a platform for discussing key challenges, showcasing cutting-edge solutions, and highlighting best practices in public works and infrastructure asset management. This is the best chance for you and your organisation to engage with peers and key stakeholders in the industry from across Australasia and beyond.
