Step into the future of construction at the Digital Construction Summit. Explore how cutting-edge technologies like BIM, AI, digital twins, and automation are revolutionising the way we design, build, and manage projects. Learn from the pioneers driving digital transformation across Australia’s built environment.
Gain access to hundreds of high-level speakers throughout two days of presentations, interactive panel discussions, fireside chats and training workshops.
As digital technologies mature, digital twins are emerging as powerful tools that extend far beyond visualisation in the built environment. By creating dynamic, data-driven replicas of physical assets, digital twins enable continuous monitoring, simulation and optimisation across the entire lifecycle of buildings and infrastructure. This panel brings together perspectives from technology, engineering, asset management and design to reflect on how digital twins are being applied in practice to enhance performance, improve decision-making and support sustainability goals. It will also consider the challenges surrounding data integration, scalability, interoperability and long-term value creation, highlighting how digital twins are redefining the way we understand, manage and future-proof the built environment.
As technological innovation continues to reshape the global construction landscape, Australia’s industry is navigating a period of rapid transformation driven by digitalisation, sustainability and evolving workforce demands. Emerging technologies—from artificial intelligence and automation to advanced materials and digital twins—are redefining how projects are designed, delivered and maintained. This panel brings together perspectives from across industry, technology and policy to reflect on the trends gaining traction in the Australian context. It will also consider the challenges of adoption, including skills, investment, regulatory alignment and market readiness, highlighting how future-focused technologies can enhance productivity, resilience and sustainability across the construction sector.
As the push towards digitalisation accelerates, transforming existing buildings into smart buildings has become a key priority for improving performance, efficiency and user experience across the built environment. Leveraging technologies such as IoT, data analytics and automated systems, smart upgrades can optimise energy use, enhance operational insights and support more responsive, adaptable spaces. This panel brings together perspectives from technology, engineering, asset management and design to reflect on how existing buildings are being retrofitted with smart capabilities. It will also consider the practical challenges of integration, cost, data management and legacy systems, highlighting how digital transformation can unlock long-term value and sustainability in the buildings we already have.
As artificial intelligence (AI) continues to advance at pace, the construction sector is beginning to explore its transformative potential across the entire project lifecycle. From design optimisation and predictive analytics to site management and risk mitigation, AI is reshaping how projects are planned, delivered and operated. This panel brings together perspectives from technology, engineering, construction and investment to reflect on how AI is being applied in practice, beyond early experimentation. It will also consider the challenges surrounding adoption, including data quality, integration with existing processes, skills and governance, highlighting what lies ahead as AI moves from emerging innovation to a defining force in the future of construction.
As digital capabilities continue to evolve, the construction sector is moving towards greater integration across systems, processes and stakeholders. Connecting design, procurement, delivery and operations through shared digital platforms offers the potential to improve coordination, reduce inefficiencies and enhance decision-making throughout the project lifecycle. This panel brings together perspectives from technology, engineering, construction and asset management to reflect on how digital integration is being implemented in practice. It will also consider the challenges of interoperability, data governance, skills and organisational change, highlighting how a more connected and holistic digital approach can drive productivity, transparency and long-term value in the built environment.
