Sydney Build Expo 2025 has wrapped up – and what an event it was! As the Official Digital Marketing Partner, the Digital Presence team had the honour of not just exhibiting, but also actively participating in shaping the conversation around marketing, innovation, and growth in Australia’s booming construction industry.
With over 25,000+ attendees, 600+ exhibitors, and 550+ industry-leading speakers, this year’s expo was the biggest and boldest yet. Held at the ICC Sydney on May 7–8, it brought together builders, architects, engineers, developers, suppliers, and marketers under one roof – all eager to learn, connect, and evolve.
Why We Show Up (and Keep Coming Back)
Digital Presence has been a proud partner and exhibitor at Sydney Build for several years, and 2025 reinforced exactly why this event is a cornerstone for the industry.
From the moment the doors opened, our team at Stall L50 was busy connecting with construction business owners, tradespeople, and product suppliers looking to grow their online presence. It was inspiring to see so many businesses hungry for change – and increasingly aware that digital marketing is no longer optional, but critical to growth and survival.
Key Highlights from Digital Presence at SBE 2025
Louie Ramos Live on Stage
One of the proudest moments for our team was seeing our founder, Louie Ramos, take the stage to speak about Digital Marketing for Construction Businesses. His talk focused on:
- How tradies and builders can leverage SEO and Google Ads to generate qualified leads
- The importance of local SEO for dominating service areas
- How AI tools are reshaping marketing strategy
- Real-life examples of clients who’ve scaled their businesses with the right digital systems in place
Louie’s session was packed – and the feedback afterward was overwhelmingly positive, reaffirming our mission to simplify digital growth for the industry.
Old Friends, New Faces
One of the most rewarding parts of the expo was reconnecting with existing clients who stopped by our stall to say hello, share their success stories, or just grab a coffee with the team.
We also had the pleasure of meeting dozens of new businesses – from independent tradies to large commercial builders – all eager to understand how Digital Presence can help them stand out online.
Learning from the Best
As much as we were there to share knowledge, we were equally excited to learn from others. From CPD-accredited workshops to expert panels on sustainability, AI, and innovation in construction, the event was a masterclass in the direction the industry is heading.
What stood out? The growing adoption of technology, the demand for efficiency through automation, and a shift in how builders are marketing themselves to win more clients.
Why Events Like This Matter
Sydney Build isn’t just a trade show – it’s a platform for transformation. It reminds us that even in traditional industries like construction, digital evolution is accelerating. Business owners are increasingly asking:
- “How do I show up on Google?”
- “Are my ads actually working?”
- “How do I get more leads without relying on word of mouth?”
These are the questions we live to answer – and being face-to-face with the people asking them fuels our purpose.
Looking Ahead
Our time at Sydney Build Expo 2025 was not just a success – it was a celebration. A celebration of the connections we’ve built, the businesses we’ve helped grow, and the future we’re excited to shape.
To everyone who visited Stall L50, attended Louie’s session, or stopped by for a chat – thank you. And to those we didn’t get to meet, we’re only a message away.
