With the Australian Government investing $45 billion in defence infrastructure over the next decade, Collab X 2025 is the must-attend event for Consult Australia members looking to expand their footprint and understand infrastructure trends and priorities in the Defence sector.

TSet for 5-6 March in Canberra, Collab X 2025 offers an expanded 1.5-day program with in-depth coverage of key defence infrastructure investments and structured opportunities to engage with senior Defence and industry leaders.

Now in its fourth year, Collab X brings together engineering and design consultants and the Defence Security and Estate Group (SEG), which plays a critical role in delivering essential defence and security services and infrastructure solutions.

“Our open conference format encourages questions from the floor, fostering a dynamic exchange of ideas, while networking opportunities throughout the day help participants to forge valuable new connections,” says Matt Williams, Consult Australia’s Defence Manager. “There’s no other conference like it.”

Highlights of the program include:

Members of Consult Australia’s Defence Roundtable will also take part in panel sessions to share their experiences of working on defence infrastructure projects. 

“The many important themes discussed at Collab X provide a good springboard for future collaboration in the quarterly Collab defence industry meetings in Canberra with Consult Australia members, construction firms and Defence’s Security and Estate Group,” Matt concludes.
