Looking Forward, Looking Back
About
The SEIA VIC Conference is a relaxed mid-week gathering for installers, suppliers and long-time supporters of the industry.It’s a chance to step away from the day-to-day, reconnect with familiar faces, share real-world experience, and make room for new ideas — with time set aside to enjoy the surroundings, including a round of golf for those who choose to.
Across the program, practical sessions are balanced with opportunities to catch up, reflect on what’s worked, and talk about what’s next, all in a genuinely welcoming setting that’s always defined the conference.

40 Years of SEIA VIC – "Looking Forward, Looking Back"
For almost four decades, the SEIA VIC Conference has been built by the people who show up — installers, suppliers and industry peers sharing what actually works on site. The 2026 conference marks 40 years of that culture.
It’s not about big stages or sales pitches — it’s a mid-week chance to step out of the van, compare notes with others doing the same work, and talk openly about what’s changed, what hasn’t, and what’s coming next.
The theme “Looking Forward, Looking Back” reflects exactly what this conference is for: recognising the experience that built the industry, and making sense of what comes next – together.
Here’s what to expect:
Installer-focused learning
Practical, honest sessions shaped by real on-site experience, backed by a focused sponsor exhibition with technical conversations you can take back to work.
A true industry catch-up
Time to reconnect with old friends, meet new faces, and have unhurried conversations with the suppliers who’ve supported the industry along the way.
A setting that earns the trip
RACV Cape Schanck, offering coastal views, space to learn and talk properly, and the option to unwind with golf and time on the Peninsula.
