Collaborating on trends in mining, investment, and innovation towards a sustainable future
Event Description
The International Mining and Resources Conference + Expo (IMARC) is Australia’s largest and most influential mining event, bringing together the global mining industry to exchange ideas, foster collaboration, and drive meaningful discussions. As part of Australia’s International Mining Week, IMARC attracts more than 11,500 registered attendees from over 120 countries, with strong participation at government and ministerial levels from 50 nations. This makes it a truly international gathering where industry leaders, innovators, and decision-makers come together to shape the future of the entire mining value chain.
Under the 2026 theme, “From Strategy to Execution: Delivering Responsible, Resilient and Viable Resources,” the conference program explores how strategic vision can translate into real-world outcomes. Attendees will gain insights from over 500 speakers across five concurrent streams: Technology & Innovation, Operational Excellence, Project Development & Delivery, Investment, and Global Opportunities.
The exhibition floor will feature more than 500 solution providers from around the world, showcasing cutting-edge technology, equipment, and services driving productivity and innovation across the sector. Confirmed exhibitors include Castrol, FLS, Hexagon, IMDEX, Epiroc, Fleet, Sandvik, Weir, Ampol, Acquire, Stratum AI, ABB, Metso, Brokk, and Emesent, among others. Another highlight of the exhibition floor is Mines and Money, a dedicated hub that connects 80+ junior mining companies with 700+ qualified investors, making it a vital space for fostering investment and partnerships.
Over 500 of the world’s leading mining companies attend IMARC, from C-level executives to engineers and operators. IMARC also offers exclusive programs tailored to mining professionals. The Mining Operators and Capability Program, designed to strengthen site performance and organisational capability, combines CPD-accredited conference sessions, practical pre-event training workshops, and structured networking opportunities. The Hosted Buyer Program, meanwhile, is designed for procurement and technology decision-makers, connecting them with the latest equipment, services, and solutions available in the market.
Networking is at the heart of IMARC, providing unparalleled opportunities to connect with industry peers.
