Great Minds Event Management (GM Events) is expanding its internationally recognized Roads, Bridges and Tunnels (RBT) Conference series into Asia with the launch of Roads, Bridges and Tunnels Asia 2026 (RBT Asia). The inaugural event will take place October 28–29, 2026, at The Ritz-Carlton Jakarta, Pacific Place, with Urban+ serving as the Event Partner.

Following four successful editions across the Middle East and Africa, RBT Asia arrives as governments and industry leaders accelerate major transportation infrastructure investments throughout the region.

A Strategic Platform for Asia’s Infrastructure Growth

Asia is entering a transformative period of infrastructure development. Indonesia is progressing its USD 32 billion Nusantara capital city project while advancing hundreds of transportation and public infrastructure initiatives. Across the region, countries including Vietnam, Thailand, Malaysia, and Singapore continue investing in expressways, rail corridors, bridges, tunnels, and next-generation mobility networks.

RBT Asia 2026 is designed to bring together senior decision-makers responsible for delivering these complex projects, fostering collaboration across the public and private sectors.

Connecting Government and Industry Leaders

The two-day conference will convene:

• Government ministries and infrastructure authorities
• Project owners and developers
• EPC contractors and construction companies
• Engineering and consulting firms
• Investors and financial institutions
• Technology providers and infrastructure innovators

More than 400 senior delegates, 30 expert speakers, and 30 exhibiting brands are expected to participate, creating opportunities to exchange knowledge, build partnerships, and explore innovative project delivery strategies.

Key Topics Driving Infrastructure Delivery

RBT Asia 2026 will feature discussions focused on the industry’s most pressing challenges and opportunities, including:

• Accelerating Indonesia’s transport infrastructure pipeline
• Public-private partnerships (PPP) and project financing
• Procurement and project delivery strategies
• Rail, bridge, and tunnel engineering best practices
• Infrastructure delivery in complex environments
• International case studies on major transport projects

According to Anna Riley, Conference Director at GM Events, the conference is designed to help infrastructure leaders address critical questions surrounding procurement, financing, project sequencing, and collaboration.

Co-Located with Hydroshield ASEAN

RBT Asia 2026 will be held alongside Hydroshield ASEAN, creating a shared platform that brings together leaders from both transportation and water infrastructure sectors. The co-located events are expected to strengthen cross-sector collaboration while showcasing emerging technologies, engineering expertise, and sustainable infrastructure solutions.
