There’s a year ending high planned for engineers in Melbourne.

The World Engineers Convention (WEC) is being held in Australia for the first time, from 20-22 November.

Held every four years, the ‘Olympics of engineering’ is a unique opportunity for engineers to advance their technical knowledge, network and to tackle many of the big questions facing the world.

Engineering’s peak body Engineers Australia– which has around 100,000 individual members – is co-hosting WEC with the World Federation of Engineering Organizations under the theme Engineering a Sustainable World: The Next 100 Years.

The convention program will offer three full days of content featuring six themes aligning to the 17 United Nations Sustainable Development Goals.

WEC will enable engineers from around 70 countries to learn about cutting-edge technologies and processes across a range of sectors from over 500 speakers, as well as to engage in big picture thinking.

The world’s longest LEGO bridge will be on display and the WEC STEM program will inspire future engineers with content for primary, high school and university students.
