Digital Built World Summit 2027

Sydney, 2–3 March 2027 | Doltone House, Darling Island

The Digital Built World Summit marks its sixth year in 2027 with a two-day program built around one question: not what AI can do, but where it delivers measurable value across the life of an asset.

Five themes frame the agenda. The opening day covers design and digital engineering (AI-enabled design, digital engineering at scale, future engineering practice), data and digital foundations (connected asset data, machine-readable information, digital twins and information management), and AI, automation and intelligent systems (the AI frontier, pilot-to-scale, intelligent workflows). The second day shifts to digital delivery and asset handover (connected project delivery, productivity and performance, closing the handover gap) and asset intelligence and operations (operational intelligence, smarter asset management, the path from digital asset to intelligent infrastructure).

Main-stage sessions sit alongside industry case studies, smaller interactive roundtables covering AI-ready data, interoperability and digital handover, an exhibition of the enabling technology ecosystem, and networking receptions. The room draws infrastructure owners and operators, digital engineering and BIM leads, CIOs and heads of data, GIS and spatial teams, and delivery and operations leaders. The 2026 edition featured speakers from Airservices Australia, Arup, WSP, Stantec, ACCIONA, CPB Contractors, the Department of Defence, CSIRO’s Data61 and Transport for NSW.

Why Stay at ibis Styles Sydney Central for the Digital Built World Summit

A City Base Within Reach of Darling Island

Wentworth Avenue places the hotel on the CBD’s southern edge, with Museum Station 400 metres away and Central Station a 9-minute walk. Light rail and train services connect toward Pyrmont and Darling Harbour, so the trip to Doltone House each morning stays short and predictable.

Space to Think Between Sessions

Rooms come with kitchenettes and air conditioning — room to lay out notes, draft questions for a roundtable, or take a call in private. Accessible rooms can be requested.

An Easy Dinner When the Day Runs Long

Mee So, the on-site Korean and Japanese fusion restaurant and bar, turns out bao buns, donburi bowls, gyoza, and its own spin on burgers and tacos. After hours of discussion on digital engineering and asset intelligence, eating downstairs beats hunting for a table elsewhere.

Caffeine Before the First Speaker

A lobby café serves coffee on-site, handy before the journey to Darling Island or as a midday pick-me-up.

Convenient for Colleagues Travelling In

Teams arriving by train from interstate or across Sydney can reach both the hotel and the venue without a lengthy transfer. Chinatown, a 6-minute walk away, offers plenty of options for a group dinner between the two days.

Reserve your room at ibis Styles Sydney Central for the Digital Built World Summit 2027 and keep your two days at Darling Island running smoothly.
