Foundations and Frontiers
On 8 August, 2024, 75 industry leaders wrapped up the inaugural Foundations and Frontiers (FF24) event by signing a communique. They acknowledged the construction industry’s vital role in the Australian economy, the challenges we face, and agreed to ramp up collaboration to tackle them.
In 2025, we’re checking in to see how much progress has been made. Join us as we take Foundations and Frontiers to Brisbane – be part of the movement that’s shaping the future of the Industry.
We’ve got the foundations for a more sustainable future, but the challenges ahead are pushing us to explore new frontiers. That’s why Foundations and Frontiers exists—an impactful event inspired by global forums like the COP Summits and the World Economic Forum, designed specifically for Australia’s construction industry. It’s about uniting the sector, setting bold targets and driving real change.
Why
There’s a widening gap between the construction workforce and the growing demand for infrastructure. As things stand, the industry can’t deliver what’s needed, when it’s needed, and at a price that works. These aren’t problems any one group can solve. That’s why we created a forum that brings together government, industry, unions, and academia, to tackle the sustainability of Australia’s construction industry with real, actionable solutions.
Event format
This one-day forum is not your typical conference. With inspirational TED-style talks to ignite new ideas and unique industry discussion formats that get you thinking and engaging in an intimate setting, Foundations and Frontiers is a gathering like no other. Last year, we hosted Australia’s first-ever “Construction Great Debate” and “Deal or No Deal” sessions to dive deep into industry risk. In 2025 you can expect even more creative and exciting sessions.
Even bigger and better
Our inaugural Foundations and Frontiers forum (FF24) brought together 600 participants, including 100 influential leaders who took part in focused roundtable discussions.
We listened to voices from every corner of the industry—and we’re doing it again. Whether you’re on-site, behind a desk or leading the way, you have a role to play in shaping the future. Stay informed, challenge the status quo, and actively participate in driving change.
