Victoria’s largest construction and design show, the Melbourne Build Expo, returns to the Melbourne Convention and Exhibition Centre this October.
Supported by the Premier of Victoria and Lord Mayor of Melbourne, the two-day expo will be held on 22 and 23 October.
It is organised by Oliver Kinross, the same firm behind other large-scale national and international construction and real estate events, including Sydney Build Expo, London Build Expo, New York Build Expo and Chicago Build Expo.
This year’s Melbourne Build Expo is expected to attract more than 10,000 registered visitors, including contractors, architects, civil engineers, developers, councils, housebuilders and construction professionals.
More than 175 exhibitors will be present, showcasing the latest services, products and innovations in the industry.
Exhibitors and attendees will include top-tier contractors AECOM and Lendlease, architects including Architectus and Woods Bagot, developers and builders such as Metricon and Stockland, civil engineers Cundall and WSP, and several Victorian infrastructure planning and development agencies.
Networking and business insights

There will be a special focus on networking events for Women in Construction and Diversity in Construction.
More than 300 speakers will offer their insights across six conference stages and 12 summits, including Future of Construction, Architecture & Design, Digital Construction, Sustainability, and D&I.
These speakers will include the City of Melbourne’s Lord Mayor Nicholas Reece; Hickory Group chair Benni Aroni; Victorian Building Authority CEO and commissioner Anna Cronin; Cox Architecture head of quality Elizabeth Stonehouse; Metro Trains Melbourne head of Metro Tunnel Transition Office Teeshal Bal; and CBRE head of projects Nick Stylianou.
