Converge Expo will focus on how Australia’s construction industry can successfully deliver the next wave of major projects when it returns to the Melbourne Convention and Exhibition Centre on 15 to 16 September 2027.

Bringing together the civil and commercial construction sectors, the event will give industry professionals a place to share knowledge, discover practical solutions and address issues affecting project delivery.

The Converge Expo 2027 conference will look at the factors shaping major project delivery, including productivity, workforce capacity, resilience, procurement and project decision-making.

The program will examine the role of AI in construction and how global approaches to sustainability can be applied in the Australian market.

Greater coordination across the industry will also be on the agenda, including what civil and commercial construction can learn from each other and how the public and private sectors can better align policy, project pipelines and capacity.

Prime Creative Media head of marketing for events Molly Hancock said the themes reflect the conversations the industry needs to be having.

“There is a huge amount of work ahead for the construction industry, but having projects in the pipeline is only one part of the equation. The real challenge is making sure the industry has the people, capacity and capability to deliver them,” she said.

“We wanted Converge Expo to focus on that challenge. The purpose is not simply to talk about what is happening in construction, but to equip the people delivering projects with the knowledge, connections and solutions they need to respond.”

The 2027 event will also introduce the Contractor Hub, where contractors can meet potential suppliers, discover new capabilities and connect with prospective workers, while exhibitors and attendees can build connections with the companies delivering major projects.
