Hybrid Event Format
CIB is pleased to announce that the World Building Congress 27-30 June 2022 will proceed with a hybrid format with both in-person and online attendance. The CIB Board met on March 14th-16th and reviewed a survey of potential attendees’ attitudes, which strongly favoured the hybrid option, and the latest developments with the global pandemic including travel restrictions, which have eased significantly in Australia in recent weeks.

Your Invitation to Participate in WBC2022
Dates: 27 – 30 June 2022
Location: RMIT University, City Campus, Melbourne, Australia
Attendance: In person or online (hybrid event)
We invite you to attend the first and biggest major global construction conference since the COVID-19 pandemic impacted the world as we know it. This will be one of the first chances in two years to get together in person, escape the dreaded webinar, and come to Melbourne to network and hear from global experts in their 40+ specialist fields.
WBC2022 focuses the building community’s attention on making our world a better place to live and showcases the work of the CIB Working Commissions and Task Groups. At the 2022 CIB World Building Congress, there will be sessions focussing on the ongoing research of our global members, thematic keynotes and industry sessions, feature presentations on state-of-the art infrastructure and building projects currently under construction around Melbourne, including the Melbourne Metro, road tunnels and freeway projects, rail separations, and high-rise buildings for housing and commercial purposes. Congress-goers will be able to engage with industry professionals and watch research improving practice in real time.
We look forward to seeing you in Melbourne at WBC2022!
