In late July 2026, organizers announced two major Melbourne events focused on sustainable infrastructure and construction productivity: the Greener Infrastructure Conference (28–29 Oct) and the Future Building and Infrastructure Summit (10–11 Aug). Both aim to bring together government officials, industry leaders, and experts to discuss decarbonisation, circular-economy practices, resilient procurement, and productivity-enhancing delivery models.

A week later, the Bulk Expo 2026 was added to the calendar, scheduled for 16–17 Sept at the same venue. The trade show and its accompanying Bulk Handling Technical Conference will showcase safety, digital engineering, and reliability solutions for the bulk-materials handling sector, reflecting a broader industry shift toward wireless monitoring and tighter safety compliance.

Further details regarding the Bulk Expo indicate that more than 80% of exhibition space has been sold, attracting suppliers and engineers from the bulk materials handling sector. Curated by the Australian Society for Bulk Solids Handling (ASBSH), the technical conference will address topics such as conveyor technology, dust control, and flow challenges, featuring experts from companies like Hexagon and Worley. Additionally, the Minerals Council of Australia (MCA) has officially partnered with the event to strengthen collaboration across the mining, manufacturing, and infrastructure sectors, specifically targeting challenges in workforce development, supply chain resilience, and decarbonisation.

Recent updates confirm the Bulk Handling Technical Conference and Expo will feature specialists from BFM Global, RCR Mining Technologies, and Ultra-Dynamics, with discussions covering wear management, mining innovation, and storage solutions.
