We’re excited to invite you to the 2025 ANCOLD Dam Operators Forum in Dubbo, from 16-18 June 2025, at the stunning Taronga Zoo Western Plains Functions Centre. Set amidst nature, with incredible views and the unique opportunity to be surrounded by wildlife, this venue is the perfect setting to learn, connect, and be inspired.
This forum offers a fantastic opportunity for dam operators from all backgrounds—whether public, private, small, or large—to come together in a relaxed and friendly environment. It’s your chance to share your experiences, learn from others, and discover new ways to tackle the challenges we all face in maintaining and operating critical infrastructure.
One of the highlights of the forum will be a site visit to Burrendong Dam, where you’ll get a close-up look at its operations and gain valuable insights into one of the country’s key assets.
And it’s not all about the sessions and site visits—there’s plenty of time to unwind, make new connections, and enjoy the beautiful surroundings of the Taronga Western Plains Zoo. This is a chance to experience the perfect balance of learning, networking, and enjoying time with the network.
We’d like to extend our thanks to the ANCOLD Executive, our sponsors, and exhibitors for their support in bringing this event to life. If you’re a potential sponsor, we’d love for you to join us and experience the exposure this wonderful event can offer your brand.
We can’t wait to welcome you to Dubbo for three days of engaging discussions, an exciting site visit, and plenty of opportunities to relax and connect. It’s going to be an event to remember – come and be a part of it!
Looking forward to seeing you there.
