Sustainability Summit 2026 FAQs

When and where is the 2026 Sustainability Summit?

The 2026 Sustainability Summit will be held on Thursday, 12 November 2026 at The Fullerton Hotel, 1 Martin Place, Sydney.

The Summit begins at 9.00am AEDT. Further arrival and registration information will be emailed to attendees before the event.

Is the Sustainability Summit available online?

The Sustainability Summit is an in-person event and will not be livestreamed.

However, all registered attendees will receive access to the session recordings online after the Summit. Recordings will be available through the Zoom Events platform for 60 days, allowing you to revisit sessions or complete additional CPD learning on demand.

How many CPD points can I earn?

Australian architects can earn up to 10 Formal CPD points – one point for each eligible Summit session completed.

The program includes 10 CPD sessions, comprising two keynote presentations and eight expert panel discussions.

To claim a Formal CPD point for a session, you must:

  • Attend the complete session in person or watch the complete recording on demand.
  • Download and complete the accompanying CPD question sheet.
  • Download and check your responses against the answer sheet provided.
  • Retain both question sheet and answer sheet and CPD certificate as part of your professional CPD records.

You may claim CPD points for one or all sessions, provided you complete these requirements for each individual session.

How is my in-person attendance recorded?

Registered attendees can record their attendance using the Zoom mobile app on the day.

At each CPD session:

  1. Open the Zoom mobile app using the email address associated with your Summit registration.
  2. Scan the QR code displayed in the room using your phone’s camera or the QR scanner within the app.
  3. Follow the prompts to open the Sustainability Summit event and check in to the session.

You must check in separately for every session for which you intend to claim a Formal CPD point.

If you are unable to use the Zoom app or scan the QR code, please speak with a member of the event team during the session so your attendance can be recorded manually.
