CRITICAL INFRASTRUCTURE SUMMIT

2–3 September 2020 | Brisbane

Industry leaders from the whole infrastructure cycle will come together 2–3 September at the Hilton Hotel in Brisbane for The Critical Infrastructure Summit – the premier event for construction, asset management and disaster resilience in Australia. O ver the last few years, Australia’s infrastructure industry has experienced significant growth with billions in funding and new projects underway and planned across road, rail, airports, ports, urban development and utilities.

We’re no longer in an infrastructure ‘boom’ – this trend is now the new normal level of infrastructure activity needed to cater for an increasing population, aging assets and innovative new technologies. However, with new projects and opportunities come new challenges, meaning it’s critical to stay informed on the latest updates in the industry. The Critical Infrastructure Summit will be the industry event for all stages of an asset’s lifecycle, from project construction, management and maintenance, through to how to prepare, survive and thrive in the face of major disaster events. Brought to you by the team behind Infrastructure, Energy and Utility magazines, the summit comprises three co-located events under the one roof: 1. Critical Infrastructure: Asset Management 2. Critical Infrastructure: Disaster Management 3. Critical Infrastructure: Construct

THE WHOLE INFRASTRUCTURE LIFECYCLE ACROSS MULTIPLE SECTORS UNDER ONE ROOF

Critical Infrastructure: Asset Management is the new iteration of the premier industry event Asset Management for Critical Infrastructure, which has been running for four years. Delegates can expect the same high-quality speakers and program as previous years, with the added bonus of two co-located events.

This will also be the second time running Critical Infrastructure: Disaster Management, with the inaugural conference in November 2019. Critical Infrastructure: Construct is a brand new event bringing together the industry leaders, leading companies and hot topics seen in Infrastructure magazine. This isn’t one event with multiple streams, it is three full industry conferences co-located in the same building, and for the price of one registration, delegates will have access to all three events.

Organisations can send their asset management teams to Asset Management, Resilience Officers to Disaster Management, and Project Managers to Construct, or delegates can duck in and out of all three events for different sessions.

Event highlights » Expert speaker presentations and industry panel sessions » Unparalleled networking opportunities » Access to all three events for the price of one registration » Major exhibition showcase across all three events » The inaugural Critical Infrastructure Awards – to be awarded at a Cocktail Gala Party on Day 1

WHAT THE INDUSTRY IS TALKING ABOUT

The expert speaker lineup across all three events features senior leaders from infrastructure asset owners, utilities, government, industry associations and consultancies.

Delegates will hear from those who are implementing emerging technologies; creating new processes and cultures to significantly improve the management of their critical assets; organisations that have survived their own disaster events and emerged as stronger, more capable businesses; and those who are leading the construction of some of Australia’s biggest infrastructure projects.

It is the only Australian infrastructure event bringing together the road, rail, airport, port, urban and utility sectors to share learnings about the entire infrastructure lifecycle. The Summit will provide a forum for the industry to share each other’s successes and learn from their mistakes. The presentations and panel sessions will provide delegates with practical solutions to improve the way critical assets are constructed, managed and protected, as well as highlighting where future infrastructure opportunities may lie.
