We are on the pathway to transforming the delivery of infrastructure in Ireland. New structures are being put in place to improve the coordination, prioritisation and oversight of infrastructure delivery. The problems impeding infrastructure delivery in Ireland are well understood and must be urgently addressed. Now is the time for high-impact reforms to accelerate our infrastructure ambition while there is significant momentum at government level. Ireland can learn from countries, such as Australia, who have implemented innovative measures and delivered world-class infrastructure at scale.

At this in-person seminar, attendees will have the opportunity to hear from infrastructure experts on their international experience of delivering world class infrastructure projects, the barriers present in Ireland and the steps necessary to reforming our infrastructure delivery methods.

Join us for an in-depth discussion on international project delivery and the reforms and innovations Ireland can implement to accelerate our infrastructure delivery. Our Keynote speaker, Paul Digby, the CEO of Parklife Metro Consortium will discuss the Australian approach to infrastructure alongside delivering a state of the art, fully automated driverless Sydney Metro system through the new Western Sydney International Airport.

We will then be joined by a panel of industry experts who are deeply involved in the delivery of critical infrastructure at home and abroad. They will share international best practices, discuss the unique challenges of the Irish system within the context of accelerating project delivery, how to leverage greater investment, develop attractive projects pipelines for supply chains and skills, and how best to capitalise on the renewed focus on critical and strategic infrastructure at the national level - with the audience encouraged to take part in a dedicated Q&A session.
