21 May
West Ryde, NSW

A Concrete Institute of Australia event sponsored by SmartCrete CRC



Event details

Date and Time: 21 May 2026 (12:00am)

Location: West Ryde, NSW, Ryde-Eastwood Leagues Club


As the demand for lower-carbon concrete accelerates across Australia, the use of Supplementary Cementitious Materials (SCMs) is becoming increasingly central to modern design practice. But while specifications set the ambition, real-world performance depends on practical implementation on site — and the two don’t always align.

This technical seminar brings together leading industry experts to explore how SCMs can be optimised from specification through to delivery, ensuring both sustainability outcomes and reliable field performance.

Get ready to explore the latest research, real-world project insights, material behaviour, and proven best-practice strategies that make SCM adoption easier, smarter, and more effective across a wide range of applications.
