THE ASIAN EXECUTIVE

Join us at Melbourne Build 2026

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.

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.
