Overview

The RICS Australasia Commercial Management Conference returns in 2025 as a hybrid event – face to face in Sydney at the elegant Shangri-La Hotel, with the option to join remotely for those unable to attend in-person.

In 2025, we expect to see a variety of industry and sector trends impacting the commercial success of major construction projects across Australasian markets. This year’s conference will examine several of the key issues impacting the management of commercial contracts in the region.

Don’t miss the opportunity to hear from our diverse range of panellists and presenters. With industry-leading content and speakers from across the sector, the conference is an invaluable opportunity for commercial teams to come together and discuss the issues impacting their future project outcomes.
