🦺 National Safety Forum: Uniting industry, government, and research leaders, the AfPA Safety Forum will tackle critical roadworker safety topics across two sessions: People & Plant and People & Traffic. Discussions will focus on emerging priorities like fume monitoring and management, exclusion zones, AI-enabled safety systems, and procurement practices that drive safer outcomes. The forum provides a platform for advancing practical solutions, exchanging knowledge, and supporting continuous improvement across Australia’s pavement industry.

🌱 National Sustainability Forum: This forum inspires bold action toward a sustainable future for our sector. Industry innovators and decision-makers will explore cutting-edge tools, including AfPA’s new Life Cycle Assessment Calculator, advanced sustainability frameworks, and breakthrough low-carbon technologies. Together, we’ll chart a clear path to reducing emissions, achieving Australia’s 2030 climate targets, and reaching net zero by 2050.

💡 Young Leaders Networking Forum: Kickstart your day with inspiration and connection at this exclusive event for emerging professionals (under 35 or less than 10 years in the industry).Hosted as part of AfPA’s Leaders of Tomorrow Initiative, the forum connects young professionals with senior board members and past AfPA State Industry Leadership Award recipients — a rare opportunity to learn from leaders and be recognised as one of the next generation.
