Leaders’ Exchange
The Leaders’ Exchange is the construction industry’s version of the Davos Economic Forum. It brings together leaders from all sectors and stakeholder groups across Australia to engage in meaningful discussions through modern roundtable sessions. The 2025 Leaders’ Exchange will be held the evening before FF25, with outcomes shared during the event the next day.
