SUMMARY:QMCA Networking Breakfast - 8 September - Resources
DESCRIPTION:QMCA Resources Breakfast \n\nQueensland has long been a powerhouse for Australia’s global resources industry as we have utilised the State’s natural resources to support economic growth and to underpin the State’s finances.  \n\nTraditionally dominated by coal\, gas\, base metals and bauxite\, global demand is shifting as new resources are required to support the global transition to renewable energy and the new products required to support and sustain the transition.  \n\nAnd that means infrastructure will be required to support the extraction\, transportation\, processing and utilisation of the resources that will support a changing industry. From ports to rail lines and from extraction to processing sites\, demand for support from the engineering and civil construction sector is set to grow\, so what does that mean for the sector in Queensland? Come along to our September breakfast to learn more about how you and your organisation can be involved in Queensland’s exciting resources future.

SUMMARY:QMCA International Women in Engineering Day Breakfast - 23 June 2023
DESCRIPTION:Join QMCA as we celebrate International Women in Engineering Day. This event sold out in 2022 – please book early to avoid disappointment. \nInternational Women in Engineering Day began in the UK in 2014 as a National campaign from the Women’s Engineering Society. Since then\, INWED has grown enormously\, receiving UNESCO patronage in 2016 and going truly global the following year. The day highlights the amazing work by women in engineering and technical roles across our industry. \nAs an industry\, there is no doubt we have come a long way\, with QMCA and member supported programs like Constructionarium Australia’s all-female build program a leading example of positive change. But\, more can still be done to increase female participation\, promote careers and pathways in engineering and ensure that we can attract and retain the best talent to infrastructure and engineering. \nAt our International Women in Engineering Day breakfast\, join QMCA\, keynote speakers and a panel of female leaders from across the industry as we celebrate the achievements of women in infrastructure and address the challenges and barriers preventing increased female participation. \nJoin us for a unique event. Book your place – grab a table\, engage in this event and celebrate the fantastic women in the construction industry. \nSponsored By

SUMMARY:QMCA Technology Forum/Summit - 14 June 2023
DESCRIPTION:Productivity has for years stagnated in the construction sector compared to other sectors. Whilst some of this can be put down to outside impacts (industrial relations\, greater reporting requirements and red tape) the fact remains that the construction industry is a laggard with respect to adopting new technology.  \nTightly written specifications and “approved” products also constrain the industry’s ability to bring new innovative approaches and solutions using technology to market. There are\, however\, many new technologies and solutions that can improve productivity on site utilising engineering and operational advancements.  \nIn our first Technology Forum/Summit\, QMCA will explore the materials and technologies that can enhance our industry and bring potential productivity gains to every project we undertake. \nThis forum/summit is designed to provide industry and clients with solutions that can be applied in your businesses and with clients to deliver productivity improvements\, this can be through technology and solutions. This event is for all\, but in particular: \n• Engineering Managers \n• Operational Managers \n• Technology and Systems Managers and leads  \n• Finance Managers and leads

SUMMARY:QMCA Networking Breakfast 31 May 2023 - Nuclear Energy
DESCRIPTION:QMCA is going nuclear!  \nJoin QMCA for our latest Networking Breakfast\, where we will investigate the opportunities\, practicalities\, and realities of using nuclear power to support the nation’s transition to net zero.  \nFeaturing keynote presentations from Adi Paterson\, the former CEO of the Australian Nuclear and Technology Organisation (ANSTO) that operates Australia’s Lucas Heights Nuclear Reactor and a leading expert on Nuclear Science and Energy and Stephen Wilson\, Adjunct Professor at The University of Queensland and one of the nation’s leading energy economists and a panel discussion. This is our industry’s opportunity to get under-the-skin of the key issues without the emotion and hyperbole that nuclear energy creates.  \nFrom the potential to support renewables as a carbon-free baseload power source\, to technological advances that are seeing pre-fabricated small-scale reactors being deployed in other markets\, nuclear power can reduce a country’s dependence on fossil fuel imports\, increasing energy security while minimising carbon emissions that contribute to climate change. But\, on the other hand\, there are concerns associated with nuclear power\, such as the potential for accidents\, access and consumption of water and the safe disposal of nuclear waste.  \nSo where does the truth lie? This is your opportunity to find out. Join us at Victoria Park Function Centre on Wednesday\, 31 May\, at 7:00am for this not-to-be-missed industry event.

SUMMARY:QMCA Networking Breakfast 19 August 2022 - Supply Chains
DESCRIPTION:  \n \nSupply chains have changed dramatically over the last two years and will continue to do so into the future. At the present time\, supply chains are extremely constrained and stretched in some areas. \nWhat is happening in this area? \nWhat are the current and future issues and trends? \nHow is “on shoring” of manufacturing capability going to assist the industry and how quickly is this happening? \nWhat are some of the leading approaches to capacity and capability building and strengthening of supply chain in local and regional areas? \nCome along to our next breakfast event to hear from industry leaders\, including ARTC/Inland Rail about how they are focusing on growing local capacity and capability to assist with the delivery of this nation building project\, as well as other major construction supply chain companies.

SUMMARY:SOLD OUT: International Women in Engineering Day Networking Breakfast
DESCRIPTION:Join QMCA as we celebrate International Women In Engineering Day.  \nInternational Women in Engineering Day began in the UK in 2014 as a national campaign from the Women’s Engineering Society. Since then\, INWED has grown enormously\, receiving UNESCO patronage in 2016 and going truly global the following year. The day highlights the amazing work by women in engineering and technical roles across our industry.  \nAs an industry\, there is no doubt we have come a long way\, with QMCA and members supported programs like Constructionarium Australia’s All-Female build program a leading example of positive change. But\, more can still be done to increase female participation\, promote careers and pathways in engineering\, and ensure that we can attract and retain the best talent to infrastructure and engineering.  \nAt our International Women in Engineering Day Breakfast join QMCA\, keynote speakers and a panel of female leaders from across the industry as we celebrate the achievements of women in infrastructure and address the challenges and barriers preventing increased female participation.  \nJoin us for a unique event. Book your place\, grab a table\, engage in this event\, and celebrate the fantastic women in the construction industry.

SUMMARY:QMCA Networking Breakfast 24 March 2022
DESCRIPTION:Hydrogen\nHydrogen is touted as the next big energy export for Queensland. With the sector set to rapidly develop based on a growing market\, government funding and increased commercial opportunities it has the potential to be as important as the CSG-LNG industry. However\, to deliver these hydrogen export plans large scale industrial plants\, pipelines and associated infrastructure are required\, which will be reliant on the engineering and construction sector in Queensland. \nQMCA\, in partnership with Clough\, invite you to our March breakfast where you will hear from industry leaders about the future of hydrogen in Queensland and the infrastructure required to take advantage of the rapidly growing industry. \nJoining us will be keynote speakers from Phil Richardson\, General Manager New Energy Projects at Stanwell Corporation\, Alana Barlow National Hydrogen Commercialisation Manager at Sumitomo Corporation and Clough who will outline the market\, engineering requirements\, skills\, resources and investment needed to transform hydrogen into a long term and sustainable industry for Queensland. \n(All attendees are required to be fully-vaccinated to attend the function and guests will be required to use the Check-in App on arrival.) \nProudly Sponsored By:

SUMMARY:Industry Breakfast 27 May 2021
DESCRIPTION:Industry Breakfast – Queensland Water Infrastructure\n\nAccess to a safe and secure water supply is essential for the State’s economic growth and prosperity. \nIn a large and decentralised State\, with varying water demands and supply\, being able to provide water and wastewater treatment for communities and industry reliably is essential. From bulk water storage to transport (pipelines) to treatment into potable water and then waste treatment and recycling\, Queensland’s water network requires complex infrastructure. \nAcross the next decade\, significant investment will be made in water infrastructure and assets. On Thursday 27 May\, we will delve a little deeper into the full water cycle as part of our May Industry Breakfast. Joined by keynote speakers from Sunwater\, Bowen River Utilities and Urban Utilities\, you will have the opportunity to be briefed on the plans and projects that will shape the sector in the years ahead. \nJoin us at Victoria Park Function Centre\, Herston on Thursday 27 May at 7:00am and be part of the conversation.
