The investment growth in construction and infrastructure projects across Victoria in recent years, such as the state’s Big Build, makes Melbourne the ideal location for the Expo’s launch.
Set to connect OEMs, sub-contractors and operators with major constructors, Expo Events Manager Lauren Winterbottom says the event is positioned to further foster the successful delivery of projects in the pipeline.
“While other construction expos in Australia exist, Inside Construction Expo was created to fill the apparent gap in events targeted at major commercial and civil projects,” she says.
“With such a significant investment in infrastructure, we’re seeing the best in new industry developments – from safety to technology – rolled out before our eyes.
“Unlike other expos with a major focus on residential developments, we saw the opportunity to spotlight the major vertical and civil construction projects that are shaping our regions and cities.”
There’s a number of projects planned over the next decade, but industry challenges remain. Inside Construction Expo 2023 will provide a platform to find solutions.
There will be four stages across the event, with each one focusing on a different key issue. Those issues are Health, Safety and Wellbeing; Training, Education and Careers; Digital Transformation and Connectivity; and Construction Productivity. Thus, there will be a wealth of information on offer across the conference.
