Central Queensland continues to attract significant industrial investment across energy, manufacturing, infrastructure and emerging industries.
As projects move from planning to delivery,
the need for collaboration between industry, government, project proponents and the regional supply chain becomes increasingly important.
The 2026 GEA Major Industry, Energy & Manufacturing Conference provides a platform for those conversations.
Over two days, the conference will bring together decision-makers, industry leaders, infrastructure providers and local businesses to explore opportunities, share insights and strengthen the connections that support regional growth.

Our partnership categories reflect the different roles organisations play within this ecosystem and provide opportunities to align with the conversations, relationships and outcomes shaping Central Queensland’s future.
