# Event Details

- **Event Name**: ANCOLD 2026
- **Event Start and End Date**: Mon, 26 Oct, 2026 at 07:30 am – Wed, 28 Oct, 2026 at 05:00 pm (+11:00)
- **Event Description**: On behalf of the Australian National Committee on Large Dams (ANCOLD) Board and Local Organising Committee, I warmly invite you to the 2026 ANCOLD Conference in Nipaluna Hobart, Lutruwita Tasmania, between 26-28 October.

The conference will be held at the iconic Hotel Grand Chancellor on the Nipaluna Hobart waterfront, overlooking Constitution Dock. The conference theme is “Resilient Dams, Smart Futures”. This theme is intended to challenge participants to reflect on dams engineering and management from an holistic perspective, not just traditional engineering. Increasingly, dam and tailings storage facility ownership must adapt and evolve to blend traditional engineering and risk management, with meaningful approaches on sustainability and climate change, and understand the impacts and opportunities of new technologies such as artificial intelligence.

We expect over 500 delegates from around Australia and internationally, spanning all dams related industries, including irrigation and urban water, hydropower, mining, regulatory and consulting. Subject matter expert Keynote speakers are being sought on topics such as AI impacts on the engineering profession and infrastructure ownership, and there will be a full day workshop followed by two days of technical sessions providing opportunities to share your experiences and to learn from each other and industry specialists. The conference will be supported by a unique social program and conference tours to some of Lutruwita Tasmania’s most spectacular dams, ensuring it is the dam industry’s premier event of 2026.
