In 2025, the municipal works sector will gather in Melbourne to showcase the latest equipment, tools and technologies delivering the best construction outcomes for local government projects.
The Melbourne Convention and Exhibition Centre will play host to Converge, an innovative new event focusing on the municipal works, commercial and civil construction industries.
Taking place from 17-18 September 2025, Converge will bring together top decision-makers from the industry, creating a space to share the cutting-edge tools, ideas and technologies that will shape these sectors.
Converge will cater to councils and asset managers by showcasing the latest tools available in municipal works. From horticultural equipment to road maintenance and large-scale trade tools, the exhibition will serve as a one-stop-shop for council fleet managers and subcontractors, with a special focus on zero-emission technology.
In addition, a significant segment of the show will be dedicated to civil construction and road maintenance. Tier 1 to Tier 3 contractors will gain exclusive insights into the latest equipment and technology reshaping the industry. Leaders from major civil works projects will share their knowledge on Victoria’s Big Build and the state’s ten-year, $120 billion infrastructure pipeline.
As Australia’s only one-stop-shop for municipal works and major civil construction, the event promises an immersive experience that takes council procurement experts on a journey from the small scale to the large.
Attendees can anticipate live demonstrations, equipment showcases, and engaging conference spaces offering invaluable solutions for the future development and maintenance of Australia’s infrastructure. In addition to hands-on tools and machinery, Converge will also have a dedicated zone showcasing live demonstrations of the latest software transforming commercial construction. These technologies have a critical role to play in engaging communities with the works being undertaken in their backyards and are vital to securing the social license required to proceed positively with projects.
Connect with decision makers
Converge attendees and exhibitors will benefit from extensive media coverage in the lead up, during and after the event, with exposure to an accumulated audience of decision makers of more than one million people.
Council will be joined by other renowned titles including Infrastructure, Roads & Infrastructure, Utility, Earthmovers & Excavators, Earthmoving Equipment, Inside Construction and Tradie.
“Whether you’re an engineer, asset manager, project or procurement manager, or even a subcontractor, Converge is the event for you,” Converge Show Director Lauren Chartres said.
“Built by Australians, for Australian construction, we’ve designed the event as a one-stop shop, where attendees can gather all the information they need to enhance their municipal and civil construction projects now and into the future.
“Our focus is on ensuring different sectors within the construction industry can learn from one another and gain the valuable insights they need to deliver on their ultimate goal: executing complex construction developments on time, on budget and to the highest standard.”
