Your Invitation to Participate in WBC2022

Dates: 27 – 30 June 2022

Location: RMIT University, City Campus, Melbourne, Australia

Attendance: In person or online (hybrid event)

 

We invite you to attend the first and biggest major global construction conference since the COVID-19 pandemic impacted the world as we know it. This will be one of the first chances in two years to get together in person, escape the dreaded webinar, and come to Melbourne to network and hear from global experts in their 40+ specialist fields.

 

WBC2022 focuses the building community’s attention on making our world a better place to live and showcases the work of the CIB Working Commissions and Task Groups.  At the 2022 CIB World Building Congress, there will be sessions focussing on the ongoing research of our global members, thematic keynotes and industry sessions, feature presentations on state-of-the art infrastructure and building projects currently under construction around Melbourne, including the Melbourne Metro, road tunnels and freeway projects, rail separations, and high-rise buildings for housing and commercial purposes.  Congress-goers will be able to engage with industry professionals and watch research improving practice in real time.  

 

We look forward to seeing you in Melbourne at WBC2022!
