Emerging Professionals In Certification (EPIC) is an annual conference hosted by the Association of Australian Certifiers (AAC). Every year, we invite emerging professionals in certification to a one-day conference to discuss the important issues in building and development certification, engage in professional development, gain technical insights, and develop strategies for a sustainable profession.

For over 20 years now, AAC has provided industry leading solutions by partnering with technical and subject matter experts from across the industry to shape the profession and enhance Certifier’s professional careers.

The 2026 EPIC Conference will be held at the Rydges Newcastle, nestled in the heart of the iconic Honeysuckle precinct. Take the time to explore a place where city vibrancy meets coastal serenity, gourmet cafes, chic boutiques and trendy bars. 

This event is exclusively for AAC members who are emerging certifiers (refer to registration criteria). 

Join us and learn from industry experts.
