Sustainability Business Live and Infrastructure Sustainability Council announce landmark partnership for 2027
Sustainability Business Live (SBLive) and the Infrastructure Sustainability Council (ISC) are joining forces in 2027 to bring Australia’s sustainability community together for a week of connection, collaboration, learning and celebration in Melbourne.
The partnership will bring together two established sustainability platforms, with SBLive at the Melbourne Convention & Exhibition Centre and the ISC CONNECT Gala Dinner & Awards at Crown Melbourne, creating a shared opportunity for people across the corporate, infrastructure and sustainability sectors to connect and shape what comes next.
At its heart, the partnership is about bringing people together.
Sustainability challenges do not sit within organisations or sector boundaries. The transition to a more sustainable future requires collaboration across business, infrastructure, government, investment and communities. By bringing these communities together, SBLive and ISC aim to create more opportunities to exchanges ideas, build relationships, share knowledge and turn collective ambition into action.
Together, the events will create a platform for the sustainability community to explore emerging ideas, hear from leading thinkers and practitioners, build new connections and celebrate the people, organisations and projects helping to drive positive change.
The partnership will create opportunities to:
- Bring corporate and infrastructure sustainability communities together
- Connect people and ideas across traditionally separate parts of the sustainability ecosystem
- Share knowledge, expertise and practical approaches to sustainability
- Create new relationships, partnerships and opportunities for collaboration
- Give industry leaders and emerging voices a broader platform to contribute to the sustainability conversation
- Celebrate the achievements and leadership of the people, organisations and projects creating meaningful change
- Make Melbourne a meeting place for Australia’s sustainability community
Toby Kent, Chief Executive Officer at the Infrastructure Sustainability Council, said:
‘The challenges and opportunities facing sustainability are bigger than any one sector, organisation or discipline. This partnership is an opportunity to bring more of our community together, create new connections and share ideas across the boundaries that sometimes separate us. By working alongside SBLive, we are creating a bigger platform for our members and the broader sustainability community to learn, connect and shape what comes next.’
Craig Macfarlane, Managing Director of Stirling Media and organiser of Sustainability Business Live, said:
‘We believe the greatest opportunities for progress come when people with different perspectives, expertise and experiences come together. Partnering with ISC allows us to bring two strong communities into closer conversation and create a bigger, more connected sustainability platform in Melbourne. It is an exciting opportunity to learn from each other, build relationships and celebrate the progress being made across Australia.’
The partnership also creates opportunities for members, exhibitors, sponsors and partners from both communities to engage with a broader audience and contribute to a richer program of conversations and experiences.
ISC members will have access to preferred participation opportunities across SBLive, including delegate, exhibition and sponsorship opportunities, creating even more ways to connect and collaborate across the sustainability community.
Whether joining one event or participating across the week, delegates will have the opportunity to be part of a growing community committed to building a more sustainable future.
Two events. One connected community. A bigger conversation about what comes next.
