Dust explosions pose significant risks. They can destroy facilities and cause fatalities and serious injuries. Dust may be a manufactured product, or a by-product generated during manufacturing, handling, storage, or waste disposal activities.
Examples of everyday combustible dust include agricultural materials – such as grain, pharmaceuticals, forest products, metals, organics and 3D printing.
The Hazardous Areas & Energy Safety Conference will cover dust hazard analysis procedures, providing an in-depth look at managing materials and activities in facilities with combustible dust. Case studies focusing on food and agricultural products will illustrate hazard identification and mitigation strategies for new and existing facilities.
Australia’s lack of significant dust explosion incidents has resulted in complacency towards combustible dust safety, with the prevailing “It won’t happen here!” mindset. The presentation will address combustible dust safety specialists’ challenges in Australia and discuss the need to change regulations and standards to overcome current complacency before disaster strikes.
Day Two will bring together industry leaders and experts to discuss the latest advancements, challenges, and best practices in ensuring safety across hazardous environments and emerging energy technologies. As industries continue to evolve, the need for robust safety strategies, regulatory compliance, and innovative solutions has never been more important.
This year’s program features various topics, from process safety in energy projects to advanced hydrogen safety considerations, the importance of international standardisation, and the risks associated with battery energy storage systems.
Attendees will gain valuable insights into navigating complex regulatory landscapes, enhancing risk management strategies and driving innovation in energy safety. The conference offers practical takeaways for the oil and gas, chemical processing, renewable energy, and industrial safety sectors. It will cover operational safety and compliance with local standards.
Arc Flash Electrical Safety 2025
Mitigating the risk of arc flash by practicing a strong safety framework to safeguard your personnel and process equipments.

This is where the big discussions happen and the tough questions are answered. Join us to be part of the industry’s major annual event.
Australian Energy Week is the premier annual event that brings together key players from across the entire energy supply chain. From industry leaders to emerging innovators.
Stabilising energy supply and ensuring reliability
Building (and connecting!) enough renewable generation to replace aging coal generation… and meet 2030 targets
Reforming the NEM and WEM
Optimising grid operations, modernising pricing and dispatch mechanisms, and incorporating new technologies will not happen without comprehensive market reform
Balancing transition with cost-of-living concerns
High energy prices and cost-of-living pressures may delay the energy transition, requiring strategies to secure investment in renewable infrastructure and government intervention
Leveraging innovation
Promising technologies like batteries, hydrogen, and grid digitalisation can accelerate decarbonisation, enhance grid stability, and reduce emissions.
The 12th Australian High Voltage Conference, scheduled for July 2025 in Brisbane at Rydges South Bank, promises to be an essential event for professionals engaged with high voltage (HV) systems across various sectors such as mining, industrial plants, oil and gas, and utilities.
The conference will showcase the latest technologies, research, and case studies in HV design, testing, installation, commissioning, maintenance and arc flash safety. Discussions will encompass a wide range of HV components and equipment, including substations, cables, transformers, and switchgear. Emphasising sustainability and reliability, the event will explore challenges in HV equipment maintenance and propose forward-thinking solutions through adherence to standards, regulations, and strategic maintenance programs.
Are you an electrical engineer, technologist or technician working with high voltage systems in mining, industrial plants, oil and gas or the utilities industry? We are looking for a number of presenters to submit a topic idea and present their papers at this upcoming conference which has been developed to promote best practice in this area.
IDC Technologies Conference presentations are non commercial. In particular we are seeking practical case studies, applications and the newest developments in this critical subject.

Following the great success of our Cairns Symposium in 2023, CIGRE Australia will be hosting an integrated suite of three conferences exploring the theme “Shaping the Power Systems of Tomorrow”.
This will be the largest CIGRE Australia event of the year and will include the 9th South East Asia Protection Automation and Control Conference (SEAPAC25) and the 7th Conference on the Integration of Distributed Energy Resources (CIDER25) along with plenary sessions on the energy transition, tutorials, a leadership breakfast hosted by Women in Energy and event for NextGen Power Professionals (focusing on the professional development for young professionals).
A focused technical conference of this nature does not take place in Australia very often and will provide delegates multiple opportunities to hear from industry leaders while developing their professional network.
It is also an excellent opportunity for businesses to connect to key industry personnel as sponsors and exhibitors.

It gives me enormous pleasure to invite you all to EEA2025 and to join us in rising to the challenge of Electrifying Aotearoa: today’s innovation, tomorrow’s system.
Aotearoa has committed to the electrification of our economy and it is our industry who lead the way in achieving change.
At EEA2025 we put the spotlight on the innovators and change-makers, the smart ideas and unique perspectives that will enable us to solve the challenges facing our industry as we design and deliver our future system.
A shift is underway toward intermittent renewables, more consumer-driven energy services, distributed resources, digitisation and automation. And yet, there are fundamentals that will never change – the need to maintain safety, reliability, resilience and affordability.
EEA2025 is where we tackle these challenges together, sharing learnings with each other and debating to reach alignment on issues. We’re incredibly proud that our conference keeps growing as does its reputation for quality.
With keynote speakers, panel discussions, technical presentations, workshops and our annual awards ceremony celebrating the brightest and the best, it is a jammed packed three days offering something for everyone.
All are welcome.
EEA2025 also includes a comprehensive Technology Exhibition providing a great opportunity for businesses to showcase technology, services, people and products, and for delegates to get ‘hands-on’ with future options and solutions. Known as the largest annual sector event in the southern hemisphere, it draws international suppliers with their latest tech.
Better still, EEA2025 is all about you. Your opportunity to network and connect; to present to your peers and to learn from others; to hear about the latest research and developments, technologies and innovations.
Last conference, we welcomed more than 1200 people through the doors including 680 delegates and 220 visitors, all of whom had the chance to explore the 150 exhibitions.
So, don’t delay. Book your space at EEA2025 and join us as we lead the change to an electrified Aotearoa.
I look forward to seeing you in Ōtautahi/Christchurch in September.
