Extraordinary demand has seen Australia’s largest mining and resources conference and expo significantly expand its floorplan in 2022.

The International Mining and Resources Conference (IMARC) will host over 7500 attendees from over 100 countries at Sydney’s International Convention Centre from 2-4 November. 

The most significant in-person gathering of Australian and international mining and resources representatives in almost three years, IMARC will enable industry leaders to engage, learn, network, and most importantly, do business, while addressing the energy transition, rising costs, skills shortages, social performance, and diversity within the resources sector.  

IMARC Managing Director Anita Richards said the response to this year’s event has been overwhelming. 

“We’re welcoming a record number of delegates this year, representing 800 mining companies, and with IMARC exhibitors increasing by 85% since 2019, we’ve had to expand the expo floor by 40%,” Ms Richards said. 

“The programme will see over 450 speakers across six concurrent conferences covering global opportunities, industry collaboration, the energy transition, investment, innovation and more.” 

On the expo floor, both local start-ups and leading global brands will showcase their latest products and services to create better, faster, safer, and more profitable operations. 

“The mining industry is facing more challenges than ever before, from supply chain volatility and workforce shortages to ESG pressures and the energy transition. IMARC is the first step to overcoming these challenges and many more,” Ms Richards said. 

“We’re excited to gather a wide cross-section of the mining value chain under one roof to connect face-to-face in Sydney, build relationships, forge partnerships, and do business while navigating  

pathways to a sustainable and prosperous future.” 

With IMARC’s Balance for Better, Next Gen programmes and First Nations partnership, the conference and expo also aims to set the tone for a more diverse future for the sector, encouraging attendance from more indigenous delegates, providing opportunities for young people, and championing equality, with women in leadership positions, community roles, and engineering a key focus across the programme.
