CPD Live is returning soon for another season this May – and the first round of presentation topics has just landed.

As a free, fully online CPD platform, CPD Live continues to be a go-to resource for architecture and design professionals across Australia. Not only is it 100% free to join and earn CPD points, but it also simplifies ongoing professional development by allowing users to track and manage all CPD certificates in one place – making audit time significantly easier.

Taking place 19–22 May, the upcoming CPD Live season will feature four days of live presentations, delivered by leading industry suppliers and experts. With more sessions still to be announced, the program is already shaping up to cover a diverse mix of technical, regulatory and forward-thinking topics.

Here’s a first look at what’s confirmed so far:

• Structural Ceiling Systems in Data Centres presented by Network Architectural.
• Balcony Drainage Systems in Multi Residential Design – Challenges, Solutions & the Impact of NCC 2025 presented by Stormtech. 
• Designing Multi Residential Projects that Deliver – Performance, Acoustics & Smarter Project Outcomes presented by CSR.
• Designing Spaces for Independent Living – Tapware & Grabrail Design presented by Nero Tapware.
• Specifying Fireplaces in Commercial Projects presented by Escea.
• How to Turn AI Into Your Business’s Secret Weapon presented by Covet.
• Understanding & Enhancing Weathertightness in Façades presented by Siniat.

From evolving NCC requirements and façade performance to AI integration and inclusive design, this season’s sessions are tailored to address both current challenges and emerging opportunities in the built environment.

Whether you’re looking to stay compliant, refine your specifications, or explore new technologies, CPD Live offers a flexible way to build your knowledge – live or on demand.

In the lead-up to the event, professionals are encouraged to head to CPDLive.com.au to create your account and receive updates on registrations opening for Season 13, and secure their place in upcoming sessions.
