About Our Conference

Conference attendees

The Time is Now

The Institute of Public Works Engineering Australasia - Tasmanian Division invites you to be part of the 2023 Tasmanian Works and Engineering Conference at the paranaple centre in Devonport.

With the theme "The Time is Now" we are particularly interested in looking at opportunities and examples of how we are preparing for and managing current and future challenges. What do our communities need, what projects are happening now and what are planned for the next few years that to reduce the impact of works, increase community resilience and plan for an uncertain future with the best outcomes for the community at the forefront.

The paranaple centre is a fantastic venue and we are looking forward to excellent speakers, trade sponsor opportunities and networking in the North West. We look forward to seeing you there.

To help with your stay we have arranged an accommodation deal with the Accor hotel conveniently next door to the paranaple centre using the following link.
