A behind the scenes look at Australia’s leading construction conference

Just like our industry, the prefabAUS Conference is growing every year. Since the inaugural event in 2014, the prefabAUS Conference has evolved into Australia’s premier building conference, attracting industry leaders, keynote speakers and construction enthusiasts from around the world. The prefabAUS 2018 Conference has been more than 12 months in the making – and, with just a few months left to go, we’ve entered peak preparation mode.

As the leading conference for the built environment, the prefabAUS Conference is one of the most anticipated events on the construction industry calendar. After four hugely successful years in Melbourne and Sydney, the Conference is heading north, with two days of education and inspiration commencing on Tuesday 11 September 2018 at the Brisbane Convention and Exhibition Centre.
