The BYDA Utility Safety Conference will take place from 4 to 5 March, 2026 at the RACV Club, Melbourne.

On show will be BYDA’s Digital Utility Portal, which is moving from proof-of-concept into the next phase of development. The portal is showing how digital data sharing can dramatically reduce manual rework, improve accuracy, and give planners and engineers the real-time insight they need to prevent strikes.
