Join Us at Australia’s Largest Construction Show

Australia’s leading and largest construction show is back on 29–30 April 2026 at ICC Sydney, Darling Harbour — and this year’s Sydney Build Expo is set to be the biggest and most exciting edition yet.

With more than 28,000 industry professionals expected to attend, Sydney Build Expo has firmly established itself as Australia’s most influential gathering for construction, architecture, engineering, infrastructure and development professionals.

Over two action-packed days, the event will bring together leaders from organisations such as Lendlease, Transport for NSW, Jacobs, Mirvac, Woods Bagot, Laing O’Rourke, Arup, Aurecon, Stockland and CBRE.

This year’s expo features:

  • 750+ inspiring speakers across 16 CPD-accredited stages and workshops
  • 700+ exhibitors showcasing cutting-edge products and solutions
  • A dedicated Government Hub and Architect’s Hub
  • Live demonstrations, interactive experiences and high-energy networking events

The conference program covers the most pressing topics shaping our industry — from affordable housing and carbon-neutral construction to AI in architectural design, digital engineering, data-driven construction and leadership in health and safety.

We’re excited to share that Tatiana Ilescu, Founder of Marketing & Tender, will be hosting a workshop at this year’s event.

Meet Tatiana Ilescu at Sydney Build Expo

We’re excited to share that Tatiana Ilescu, Founder of Marketing & Tender, will be hosting a workshop at this year’s event. Throughout her career, Tatiana has worked with some of the largest security companies in Australia, delivering high-level tenders, developing strategic branding frameworks, and leading the creation of Reconciliation Action Plans.

Her expertise has helped organisations position themselves more competitively, strengthen their credibility, and secure major opportunities in complex and highly regulated industries.

She is known for her resourcefulness, clarity of thinking, and unwavering commitment to excellence — whether she’s refining a tender strategy, shaping a brand narrative, or building long-term client partnerships. Above all, Tatiana values relationships. She believes business is built on trust, and she brings warmth, energy and authenticity to every conversation.

You can be the most capable business in the room and still lose opportunities if you don’t look credible online.

Decision makers don’t just assess you in a tender. They assess you everywhere. On LinkedIn. On your website. In your presentations. In how your leaders show up. And in whether your RAP and social commitments feel genuine or just “tick the box”.

This workshop is designed to help construction businesses build an online presence that actually supports growth, trust and tender success.

I will share how to:

  • Create LinkedIn content that builds authority, including the STEPPS framework
  • Position leaders through strong thought leadership
  • Communicate RAP and social value authentically
  • Deliver presentations that reinforce credibility
  • Align every touchpoint with your tender submissions

You will leave with a clear framework and practical actions you can implement immediately, without needing a large marketing team.

Tatiana Ilescu is a strategic marketing and tender specialist, founder of M&T Marketing, who has helped businesses secure over 230 million dollars in contracts across more than 289 tender submissions.

Working across security, infrastructure and other regulated industries, she specialises in strategic marketing, tender development and credibility building. She supports organisations in securing major contracts by aligning LinkedIn presence, website messaging, professional presentations and tender submissions into one clear commercial narrative.

Tatiana also develops meaningful Reconciliation Action Plans in collaboration with Aboriginal communities, ensuring social value is communicated with authenticity rather than compliance language.

Born and raised in Moldova, she brings resilience, perseverance and a strong belief in teamwork to her work. Her motto is simple: there is always a solution.

She is passionate about helping leaders and businesses show up with clarity, authority and confidence in competitive markets.
