MCEC, Melbourne • 15 Oct 2027
Where craft meets connectivity
Don’t just build, scale.
The operational survival kit for the modern tradesperson.
What is it?
The collision of grit and gear.
TradieTech (#TT27) is a high-octane summit at the Melbourne Convention and Exhibition Centre (MCEC) focused on the $30b+ modern contracting sector.
We solve "40-trade friction" by showcasing the site management software, smart tools and fintech systems that underpin the modern job site.
This is the blueprint for the modern construction era.
From the founder
Why TradieTech?
TradieTech was born on a building site, not a boardroom.
After settling on the Northern Beaches of Sydney in late 2025, I managed my own renovation and noticed a glaring contradiction: world-class trade craft hampered by manual, fragmented coordination.
Obsessed with the "why," I realised "Muscle" (tools) and "Management" (tech) simply were not talking. This "40-trade friction" drains the margins of the 40,000 firms that drive our industry. I built TradieTech 2027 to bridge this gap, the event I wished existed to unite the boardroom and the site office.
