With major projects underway and more on the horizon\, the question isn&rsquo\;t just what gets built &ndash\; it&rsquo\;s how we fund\, manage\, and deliver smarter. \; Across transport\, energy\, water\, housing\, and climate resilience\, the challenges are significant: Constrained budgets\, rising construction costs\, and ongoing skills shortages. At the same time\, Victoria must accelerate toward net zero targets and maintain public confidence in infrastructure delivery. \; The answer lies in transformation &ndash\; not just projects\, but in the way we work. An AI-enabled workforce will outperform a non-AI-enabled workforce\, and the sector must embrace this reality to boost productivity and decision-making. Data-driven delivery\, smarter contracting models\, and digital tools will be critical to unlocking efficiency and transparency. \; Labour and skills remain a pressing concern. Building capability for the future means rethinking training\, leveraging technology\, and creating pathways that attract and retain talent in a competitive market. \; TIP \;Melbourne \;will bring together leaders from government\, industry\, and technology to tackle these questions head-on: \; How do we deliver infrastructure through innovative funding and finance? What does an AI-enabled workforce look like &ndash\; and how do we get there? How can data\, contracting innovation\, and digital systems reshape delivery? What is the plan for addressing labour and skills shortages? \; Join them as they explore the strategies\, partnerships\, and innovations that will define Victoria&rsquo\;s infrastructure future. \; Event Details Date: Wednesday 25 February 2026 Time: \; 10:00am - 4:00pm. Followed by summit drinks (registration from 9:00am) Venue: Melbourne Connect\, 700 Swanston St\, Carlton VIC 3053 Cost: \; Free For more information and to register\, please visit the \;event webpage here.
