THE ASIAN EXECUTIVE
25 – 26 November 2026 · Melbourne Convention and Exhibition Centre
Melbourne Build 2026 is Australia’s premier convention for the built environment, convening more than 20,000 industry professionals, 350+ premium exhibitors, and 500+ speakers across architecture, construction, infrastructure, and real estate. As an official event partner, The Asian Executive will be present on the floor and in private session throughout both days.
For our readers, the developers, investors, architects, and tier-one contractors who shape skylines across Australia and Asia, this is the room where the next chapter of Melbourne’s vertical future is being written. If you are attending, we would welcome the opportunity to meet face to face: to discuss an upcoming project, explore editorial coverage, or simply continue the conversation that began on these pages.
Our editorial and leadership team will be on the ground at MCEC across both days. Reserve a time that suits you, or claim your complimentary delegate pass through the link below.

2025 - 2026
The Asian Executive · 2026 Economic Forum

The 2026 Economic Forum drew its strength from the breadth of those who stood behind it. Principal partner Multiplex, major partners Mayland Projects, Commonwealth Bank and Cushman & Wakefield, international aviation partner ACAM Pacific, and luxury marques Lamborghini and Bremont anchored the evening, while presenters from HSBC, Google Australia and Crown Resorts gave it substance.
Around them sat the corporate hosts, among them Charter Hall, Vicland, FK Architects, SOM, OSK Property and Westpac, whose tables filled the River Room. Their combined presence signifies something rare: a senior cross-section of property, finance, technology and capital choosing to gather under one banner. After twenty years, The Asian Executive remains the symbol of where Asian capital and Australian business coalesce.
The Asian Executive is Australia's premier Asian business publication, delivered to a curated network of senior professionals across property, finance, infrastructure and government.
