14th Annual i3net Industry Showcase

The Illawarra Shoalhaven’s leading heavy industry event.

Across two days, the 2026 i3net Industry Showcase brought together project owners, major contractors, government, industry leaders and capable local businesses to connect, share insights and create new opportunities.

Thank you to everyone who joined us and helped make the 14th Annual Showcase another outstanding event for our region.

Hear what attendees had to say about the 2026 Showcase

Exceptional organisation of event and outstanding speakers

It was great to see what the landscape will look like in and around the Illawarra from the discussions and speakers from the night.

The number of conversations that were had and the introductions that were made with new business and network members.

Industry updates gained from formal panels and informal networking conversations

The scale of the event, the quality of the discussions and the opportunities it created for industry collaboration are a testament to the hard work and commitment of the i3net team, sponsors, speakers, and partners.

Energy, AI and Australian capability in action

We are the new
engine room

For more than a century, this region powered the nation’s industry. Today it’s doing it again, on different terms.

Energy infrastructure at national scale. AI and automation reshaping how factories run and decisions get made. A manufacturing and engineering base rebuilding Australian sovereign capability from the ground up. The Illawarra Shoalhaven isn’t waiting for the future of industry to arrive. It’s building it.

That was the story at the heart of the 2026 Industry Showcase — the projects, technology and people turning regional capability into national advantage, and the opportunities created when we bring them together.
