Why now?

The $30B+ Australian contracting sector is at an inflection point:

  • 70,000-80,000 worker shortfall against national housing targets.

  • 3,490 construction firm insolvencies in FY24–25 - a decade high.

  • Construction productivity down 50% since the 1970s.

  • Only 34% AI adoption across construction SMEs.

The firms that survive and scale will be the ones that operationalise fastest. TradieTech is where that decision gets made.

Why our room shows up.

The average trade business owner works across 6.2 platforms, manages crew, chases invoices, and still has to run a business. They don’t attend events. They attend this event, because every minute is engineered to count.
