Be part of Melbourne’s transition towards a circular future.

When: 5–6 November, 2025

Where: RMIT Activator, 102 Victoria Street, Carlton

The Circular Cities Showcase is an immersive event highlighting cutting-edge solutions to drive a more sustainable and resilient city. Hosted by RMIT Activator, the Showcase brings together government, industry, researchers, local businesses and community organisations to accelerate the shift to a circular economy, starting with our built environment.

Across two days, the Showcase will explore how we can design, construct and adapt our buildings and precincts to maximise resource efficiency, reduce waste and regenerate materials. Through a panel discussion, multiple industry networking opportunities and a collaborative workshop, participants will see firsthand how the RMIT City North precinct is being positioned as a living laboratory for circular innovation.

Through your participation, we’ll strengthen industry networks and ideate pilot programs to scale circular solutions across Melbourne.

Be part of two exciting events:

Showcase Exhibit – 10am–3pm, Wednesday 5 and Thursday 6 November

Running across the two days, this exhibit will showcase current circular research and innovative ventures. This event is free and open to the public, so bring everyone along to learn more about circular solutions!

Opening Panel & Networking Event – 5pm, Wednesday 5 November
