EIANZ 2024 ANNUAL CONFERENCE

W Sydney | 31 Wheat Road, Sydney NSW 2000

Our industry has seen a lot of change in a relatively short time. But what’s coming next?

Over the past 12 months, we’ve examined the short-term challenges facing our rapidly evolving profession. It’s now time to come together, review next steps, and ready ourselves for the next stage – and the one after that.

To help us envision a way forward, delegates will be briefed by EIANZ's representatives on the first ever Global Nature Positive Summit, to be held in Sydney in October. We will also hear about key takeaways from EIANZ’s recent marquee events including our Impact Assessment Symposium, National Biodiversity Offsets Conference 3.0, Nature Positive Cities Symposium, and our two Transport & Ecology conferences.

We’ll bring our learnings together to find multidisciplinary solutions to complex problems. How do we balance the competing priorities of renewables with those of cultural heritage and biodiversity? Which of our industry’s systems and processes will soon be obsolete? How do we meet growing demand for environmental services while maintaining best practice?

We’ll dive into a comprehensive range of critical topics, including:

• Evolving the environmental profession
• Emerging technical challenges
• Innovations in sustainability
• Improving social and environmental impact assessment, and post approval management
• Approaches to achieve nature positive and beyond.

Registration includes two days of the latest technical content, plus the option to attend your choice of exciting on-site experience, with details to be announced late August.

Don't miss this opportunity to ready yourself for what lies ahead.
