Benefits
Network – at bi-annual National Conferences
These are held twice a year in different States, and typically include a full day conference and networking dinner. The event that is held later in the year also includes a welcome reception and trade exhibition, as well as a factory or site visit. The Conferences are a fantastic way to learn, exchange information and form strong relationships with others in the industry. Get up close with precasters and suppliers from around the country as you learn about new innovations and the latest technical, commercial, HR and safety issues facing the industry.
Learn – at Legal Q&A and TechTalk Webinars
You and your team can participate in webinars and access previous webinars via our website Members’ Portal.
