Monday 17 November 2025 Cellos Grand Room, Castlereagh Boutique Hotel, Sydney
Event Summary
SIM-PAC Live comes to New South Wales on 17 November 2025 for our primary networking forum of the year, dedicated to sustainable industrial manufacturing and the transition to a circular economy.
This is an open event — welcoming all professionals, businesses, and innovators with an interest in decarbonisation, renewable energy, sustainable construction, and advanced manufacturing.
What makes it unique is the strength behind it: more than 70 SIM-PAC members — established companies, entrepreneurs, and innovators — will be there to share their projects, insights, and lessons learned. These are the companies already delivering the energy transition and the shift to circular, sustainable economies.
At the same time, we expect around 50% of the audience and speakers to be first-time participants. This blend of experienced SIM-PAC members and new voices ensures that every conversation is fresh, open, and forward-looking.
The program blends short, practical presentations, panel sessions, and open forum discussions, all designed to move beyond theory into actionable solutions and collaborative opportunities.
The venue — the heritage-listed Cellos Grand Room in the Castlereagh Boutique Hotel — provides an intimate Art Deco setting, purpose-chosen to encourage conversation, connection, and genuine collaboration.
