About the Conference

12th International Conference on Innovative Production and Construction

The International Conference on Innovative Production and Construction (IPC) is the flagship annual conference of The International Society for Smart Construction and Production (SCP), bringing together global leaders in construction, manufacturing, and digital engineering to advance innovation across the built environment.

IPC 2026, to be held in Melbourne in November 2026, will continue this tradition by convening leading researchers, industry practitioners, policymakers, and innovators from around the world. The conference serves as a premier platform for exchanging ideas and advancing knowledge at the intersection of construction innovation, production systems, and sustainable development.

This year's conference places a strong emphasis on decarbonisation, digitalisation, industrialised construction, and next-generation production systems. Through keynote presentations, technical sessions, and industry-led discussions, IPC2026 aims to foster meaningful dialogue between academia and practice, bridging the gap between research innovation and real-world implementation.

As the construction industry faces unprecedented challenges—including climate change, productivity pressures, and rapid digital transformation—IPC2026 provides a timely and impactful forum to explore transformative solutions, emerging technologies, and collaborative pathways toward a more sustainable, efficient, and intelligent built environment.
