about the conference
It is my great pleasure to invite you to register for our 2018 State Conference “The Changing Face of Public Works”.
The Conference Theme – The Changing Face of Public Works – revolves around the evolution of traditional methods vs current methods and the ever evolving new technologies and trends, and the differences they have in the public works sector between the “older” generations and the “younger” generations.
The State Conference also offers the opportunity to create and strengthen relationships between people and organisations.
The Program will deliver very full and engaging days of keynote speakers, concurrent technical presentations, covering a wide range of public works and services, panel discussions and includes numerous networking opportunities. The event will help busy professionals identify ideas for future focus, collect knowledge and practical measures that can be applied straight away to make a real difference in the workplace.
It is well known that one of the most important benefits derived from attending conferences is what we learn from our colleagues in one on one interaction, and this has always been, and will always remain, a focus of the conference committee.
Day one opens with a Keynote Presentation by Dr Alan Klinken, the Chief Scientist of WA, who will focus on Science, Technology, Engineering & Mathematics (STEM) and how science can be a critical factor to ensure that the overall industry stays at the forefront of emerging technologies together with remaining sustainable with the imminent retirement plans of some of the more experienced and longer term members in the Industry.
Presentations from your colleagues from across a range of industries will embrace the theme of The Changing Face of Public Works and will outline what has impacted on them and their organisations..
