Built Digital SA Conference 2026

We welcome you to join us at the Built Digital SA Conference on Thursday 12 November! The Built Digital SA Conference returns in November 2026, bringing together the people shaping how South Australia’s built environment is designed, delivered, operated and continuously improved through digital capability. As the industry moves beyond standalone BIM adoption, the conversation is rapidly shifting toward connected information, automation, artificial intelligence, data-driven delivery and whole-of-asset thinking. The Conference 2026 will bring together leaders and practitioners from across architecture, engineering, construction, infrastructure, government, technology and asset operations to explore what digital transformation means for the next generation of the built environment. Through keynotes, panels, and real-world case studies, the conference explores how organisations leverage Digital Engineering, AI, and connected data platforms to optimize project delivery and lifecycle asset management. Key discussions will cover automating workflows, integrating digital twins, establishing open standards, and driving data-led insights, while addressing the essential governance, interoperability, and change management needed to scale digital capabilities effectively.The conference will also explore an increasingly important question for our industry: How do we move from implementing digital tools to creating measurable value through digital delivery? Attendees will hear from organisations and project teams applying digital capability to real projects, including the lessons learned, barriers encountered and outcomes achieved across buildings, infrastructure, transport, defence, healthcare, aviation, energy and major capital programs. Whether you are leading digital strategy, managing major projects, delivering BIM and Digital Engineering, working with project information and data, developing technology or beginning your organisation’s digital journey, Built Digital SA 2026 provides an opportunity to challenge established approaches, share practical knowledge and help shape the future of South Australia’s built environment.
