The conference will be held at Crown Promenade Melbourne on 16-17 November 2021.

Event founder Kevin Ezard said experts had indicated all Australian adults could be vaccinated by Christmas if the supply of vaccines remains consistent, so on that basis he believed it will be safe to proceed in November.

A key feature of Frame Australia’s events for the past 23 years has been personal networking with colleagues – rating number one in post-event surveys.

“The new global ‘hybrid’ format will retain this vital face to face element, while delivering an unrivalled experience with ‘in-person’ and ‘online’ participation for both speakers and delegates,” Mr Ezard said.

With technology now revolutionising the use of timber in construction, TOC21’s theme Timber & Technology: The Zero Carbon Future focuses on the trends that are changing the way we build our homes and cities for a more sustainable world.

Conference sessions will combine international and local presenters to provide global coverage of topics by world-renowned experts, plus building project panels discussing challenges and solutions in engineered timber and mass wood projects.

In addition, exhibition displays will feature construction systems, design technologies, manufacturing, and building materials to provide opportunities for engagement with key industry suppliers.

A new feature is the highly flexible registration options for in-person delegates to choose from a selection of half-day and full-day programs, while virtual delegates can register for just one or more conference sessions.
