Expotrade Australia is pleased to announce the return of the Australian Placemaking Summit to be held on Wednesday 13th & Thursday 14th May 2026 at the Sydney Masonic Centre.

Following its stupendous success last year, the summit will be held in Sydney to provide a high-level forum for discussion and debate around the crucial role of placemaking in creating better places and shaping the future of cities and towns across Australia.

The 2-day summit will provide a leading platform for urban planners, placemakers, urban designers, architects, landscape architects, engineers, policy-makers, developers, contractors and building managers from across government and private sectors to network and discuss opportunities as well
as solutions for challenges encountered in the process of placemaking across Australian cities and towns.

However you fit into the placemaking/urban development puzzle, the summit is designed to provide a holistic understanding of the concept, helping you develop that tricky blend of people-focused practice & commercial acumen critical for successful placemaking work.
