Past PIANC APAC Conferences

PIANC APAC is the biennial forum for all PIANC members from Asia Pacific and beyond focusing on harbours, ports and recreational boating in the region. Non PIANC members are also welcome. The inaugural PIANC APAC Conference was held in Fremantle, WA in December 2020, followed by the second conference in the series, held in Melbourne in September 2022. The third biennial PIANC Asia Pacific Conference was held at Sofitel Sydney Wentworth Hotel in August 2024.

PIANC APAC brings together engineers, planners, scientists and researchers to focus on the technological, scientific, policy, planning, design and operational issues related to our diverse and developing ports, harbours and recreational boating facilities.

Over 320 people attended PIANC APAC 2024, with attendees from every state and territory in Australia, as well as international delegates from 17 other countries (Fiji, Finland, India, Indonesia, Japan, Malaysia, New Zealand, Papua New Guinea, Philippines, Singapore, Solomon Islands, Spain, Sweden, Thailand, United Kingdom, United States and Vietnam). We hope to build on this for the 2026 Conference and look forward to seeing you in Brisbane!
