DBI2026 is the second international conference delivered under the Decarbonising the Building Industry (DBI) initiative. The conference will be held on 19–20 November 2026 at the Melbourne Convention and Exhibition Centre.

The conference brings together researchers, industry leaders, practitioners, and policy makers to address one of the most pressing challenges facing the built environment: how to significantly reduce carbon emissions across the full building lifecycle.

In 2026, DBI will be co-hosted with the 12th International Conference on Innovative Production and Construction (IPC2026), creating a co-branded international event that strengthens links between decarbonisation, innovation, and construction delivery.
