The 2010 National Local Government Asset Management & Public Works Engineering Conference was held on 13 and 14 May 2010 hosted by MAV and IPWEAvic and supported by EA. Due to the renovation of the old convention centre the conference was held at the unique Plaza Ballroom, Regent Theatre Collins St Melbourne.
Many delegates took full advantage of the exhibits. On both days you could obtain a cartoon profile of yourself at the Pittney Bowes exibitors stand. Coffee was provided at the Downer EDI stand. Victoria University sponsored lunch for day one and provided packaged mints packaed in a way that had many using all their engineering abiltiy to access. ‘US’ Utility Services sponsored the lunch on day 2 and much interest was generated around their new product.

- Stephen Alchin, Infrastructure Australia
- Mark Harvey, Bureau f Infrastructure, Transport and Regional Ecomonics
