Major Projects Shaping the NT

The 15th Annual NT Major Projects Conference returns to the Darwin Convention Centre on 25 and 26 November 2026. Attracting over 150 delegates each year, the Northern Territory Major Projects Conference is one of the largest infrastructure and construction events held in the Territory.

The 2026-27 Northern Territory infrastructure program outlines a $4.25 billion investment pipeline aimed at economic growth, improving connectivity and delivering critical infrastructure across the Territory.

Against this backdrop, the NT Major Projects conference will bring together over 20 senior- level professionals from both the public and private sectors to discuss major infrastructure projects in store for the Territory, and to share best practices for the efficient delivery of big budget initiatives.

The 2-day event will connect industry stakeholders and provide a valuable platform for discussion, business, and networking opportunities. Join over 150 attendees at one of NT’s largest infrastructure conferences for a unique experience that is not to be missed.
