Welcome


On behalf of the organising committee, you are cordinally invited to attend the inaugural Integrated Project Engineering Congress (IPEC) that will be delivered virtually from 26-28 May 2021.

In light of recent developments and the unpredictable border closures over the last couple of months throughout Australia, the IPEC 2021 Organising Committee and congress hosts have decided to transition the congress to a fully virtual event.  All presentations will be delivered virtually, giving you the opportunity to participate in IPEC live or via on Demand from the comfort of your home or office.  

As the congress continues to evolve, we will be exploring in person networking opportunities in the Engineers Australia office locations around Australia, we will be accepting expressions of interest from participants at registration, and will engage with you on what those networking events will be at a later date. 

The IPEC program will offer two full days of content featuring six streams, each developed with key topics which coincide with the congress theme “Creating the Future Together”;  attracting a high calibre of industry papers and presentations in a diverse field of Risk, Systems and Cost Engineering.


The Congress is a unique opportunity to take an integrated approach - attend virtually providing a greater attendance and exposure for all participants whilst providing the experience to share knowledge, present research, learn new practices and network with like minded professionals from different disciplines of engineering.

Please feel free to contact the congress secretariat should you have any questions on [email protected].

We hope to see you all virtually on May 26-28 May for the inaugural Integrated Project Engineering Congress 2021.
