The Australian Constructors Association is proud to present the second Foundations and Frontiers Forum on 6 August 2025 at Nissan Arena in Brisbane.

Inspired by global events like the COP Summits and the World Economic Forum, Foundation and Frontiers is a major construction industry gathering like no other. Its purpose is to untie the industry, set bold targets and drive real change.

FF25 will take place on the iconic sunken show court at Nissan Arena- far from a typical conference setting. Like 2024, this won’t be a series of staged talks. There’s no room for lengthy speeches or traditional panel discussions. Instead, expect fast-paced, dynamic sessions that keep that energy high.
