About Project Controls Expo Australia 2026
nPlan is a Silver Sponsor of Project Controls Expo Australia 2026. Find us on stand 37 at the MCG, 23rd-25th November.
Project Controls Expo returns to the Melbourne Cricket Ground for three days of project controls practice across rail, transport, energy, resources, water and construction. It's the largest gathering of project controls and delivery professionals in the region, and our team will be there for the duration - come and find us to talk through AI-led forecasting, assurance and scheduling, and to see the technology in action.
A report by McKinsey states that 98% of megaprojects face cost/schedule overruns or delays. The reasons include flawed performance management, insufficient risk management, missed connections (lack of planning) amongst a few others which lead to loss of control on projects; missed deadlines; delayed phased completions; incurring penalties; incurring payment delays; erosion of stakeholders' trust and finally, with public projects, poor justification of taxpayer's money.
This calls for more enhanced dialogue between government, industry and professional bodies to come together to share lessons learnt, best practices and engage more collaboratively for successful project delivery. Project Controls Expo, started in 2010, offers this platform where a wide range of industry players (Oil & Gas, Aerospace, Pharmaceutical, Infrastructure, Construction, Government, Defence, etc) and professional bodies (APM, ACostE, ICEC, AIPM, PMI, AIQS etc) engage with a range of professionals and technology providers for the development/advancement of the profession.
