Powering Australia’s path to 2032

Join senior leaders from across Australia's most critical sectors—Data Centers, Utilities & Renewables, Mining, Oil & Gas, Transport, Buildings, and Healthcare—for two days of strategic insights and practical solutions at the ABB Electrify Tomorrow Forum 2026.

As Queensland prepares for the 2032 Olympics and Australian industry navigates unprecedented grid constraints, this event brings together C-suite executives, senior engineers, consultants, EPCs, and government officials to explore how cutting-edge electrification, and digital technologies can power our future.

Discover innovative approaches to energy security, load management, and sustainable growth while connecting with the decision-makers shaping Australia's next generation of critical infrastructure.

WHAT TO EXPECT

Over two days, you'll engage with thought-provoking keynotes and panel discussions addressing grid limitations and energy transition, explore sector-specific breakout sessions covering everything from data center resilience to transport electrification and Olympic infrastructure preparation, and participate in interactive technical deep-dives featuring live product demonstrations and hands-on workshops.

This isn't a passive conference—expect interactive Q&A sessions, networking opportunities with industry peers, and direct dialogue with ABB experts that will equip you with actionable strategies to overcome today's infrastructure challenges and seize tomorrow's opportunities.
