National Community Engagement for Infrastructure Forum (NCEIF) 2023

NCEIF was formed by three community engagement specialists from the infrastructure and natural resources sectors who are passionate about their work and building capacity within the profession. Stakeholder engagement practitioners are in high demand as the infrastructure and natural resources sectors continue to grow. NCEIF acknowledges that we work in many sectors and this inaugural conference is for anyone who specialises or has an interest in engagement on major infrastructure and in natural resource management. Join us. You will be welcome. Get involved and help advance the practice.
