Study Tour

The 2024 IPWEA Asset Management Study Tours will be held in association with the IPWEA International Asset Management Congress to be held in Canberra, Australian Capital Territory, Australia, from 28-29 November 2024.

The Tours will explore case studies in infrastructure asset management in asset intensive organisations, and will include a mix of international and national delegates. This adds another dimension to the AM Congress, as it provides a fantastic opportunity for networking between the delegates from different countries. Limited places will be available on the Tours.
