Testimonials — Engineers Australia — Climate Smart Engineering Conference 2025
Engineers Australia was proud to host the Climate Smart Engineering Conference 2025 (CSE25) in Adelaide — a city that perfectly reflects the event's mission to advance sustainability, innovation, and collaboration across the engineering profession.
Adelaide's leadership in renewable energy, circular economy initiatives, and its bid to co-host COP31 strongly aligned with the conference's focus on achieving net zero and building climate-resilient communities. The Adelaide Convention Centre provided a world-class venue that supported both the technical and creative aspects of the program, with exceptional flexibility and attention to detail from the operations team.
Working with Business Events Adelaide was a great experience. Their proactive approach, local insights, and genuine enthusiasm ensured that every element reflected South Australia's innovation and hospitality. Delegates consistently praised the city's accessibility, welcoming atmosphere, and sustainability credentials, making Adelaide a fitting and inspiring host for CSE25.

#CSE25 was an amazing experience and a privilege to be able to support as a student!
Hosted by Engineers Australia, the conference brought together attendees from all around the country with a passion for engineering climate smart solutions. With so many brilliant speakers presenting their findings, many others in the industry were influenced and encouraged to incorporate a number of key themes such as corporate social responsibility, a circular economy, and Net Zero goals towards the work that they do.
As a young and learning engineer, I look forward to incorporating sustainable solutions in the heart of my work and continue to take every opportunity to expand my climate smart engineering knowledge.

Excited to be in Adelaide, attending and presenting at the Engineers Australia's Climate Smart Engineering Conference 2025 (CSE25) | Resilience engineered: solutions for our climate reality.
CSE25 is a powerful reminder that resilience is not inherited; it's engineered. It's built through technical exchange, turning knowledge into action and delivering the solutions our nation needs to face a changing climate.
It was inspiring to connect with so many peers committed to shaping a climate-smart future and to share in discussions about designing systems that meet the challenges of our changing climate.
