Go west for WA Mining Conference and Exhibition

The WA Mining Conference and Exhibition is back! What is available for exhibitors, sponsors, and attendees at the Perth Convention and Exhibition Centre?

Perth has long been the centre of mining in Western Australia, with tens of thousands of people directly employed by the industry. With significant resources within Western Australian soils, events like the WA Mining Conference and Exhibition provide numerous opportunities to present products and services to key decision-makers.

The WA Mining Conference and Exhibition will integrate the innovation and research ecosystem while addressing the social and environmental standards driving a more sustainably conscious industry. The expanded exhibition will showcase technical and digital innovation across every aspect of the mining value chain. At the same time, the highly targeted conference will illustrate the economic importance of mining to Western Australia, its contribution to the resource technology sector, its innovation capability, job creation, and the attraction of capital to the state.

Show Director Siobhan Rocks said the 2024 event is designed to connect mining industry businesses.

“Western Australia is an important market for the mining industry, and we’re focusing on connecting buyers to that market. We’re making it so they don’t have to come all the way over to the eastern seaboard to talk to people within mining communities.”

It is the ultimate event for mining and engineering professionals, showcasing the technical and digital evolution transforming the mining industry in Western Australia. Developed purely for the Western Australian market, WA Mining gives attendees a blueprint to solve operational pain points while listening to industry-leading experts in this highly targeted conference. It will feature a highly targeted paid-to-attend conference that will cover key themes.

What will be happening?

WA Mining Conference will provide engineers, mine managers, site superintendents, HSE managers, exploration managers and operations managers with the technological insights that will shape the future of the mining industry in Western Australia.

Western Australian Minister for Mines and Petroleum David Michael will kick the conference off on day one. In his keynote address, Michael will reflect on the long-lasting, dynamic, and diverse work the sector does to sustain the state’s economy.

“WA has been a leader in some automation technologies with over 400 autonomous trucks operating across the state at the moment. With that digitalisation, there are some really important things that we’re doing in Western Australia.”

Of note is the expansion of digitalisation and automation, which will continue to push the industry into new frontiers. The WA Mining Conference will examine these new technologies and applications and draw insights from digital experts across a variety of sectors that could have applications in mining. Cyber security managers, technology heads, and chief technology officers will be in attendance as they look to discover the technological step-change that will affect the sector.

Industry and stakeholder engagement is paramount to the success of the mining industry. The WA Mining Conference will look into the social license to operate and the most effective way to limit the environmental impact of mining in Western Australia. Environmental managers, stakeholders, and community engagement managers will hear from industry and government experts.

“Understanding the needs of the Western Australian mining industry, we are excited to expand the show’s offering,” Rocks said. “Attendees will be able to find a whole range of solutions for mining, including advanced technology and equipment on display.”

It will also provide mining equipment, technology, and services (METS) suppliers with the opportunity to engage with a high-quality audience of mining industry professionals. This event will provide the ultimate platform to showcase the latest range of products or services. There will be numerous opportunities to access new sectors or regions. Attendees can place their companies in front of Western Australia’s mining industry.

These are just a few opportunities to get involved in the WA Mining Conference and Exhibition. The conference allows companies to showcase their business as technical leaders in the Western Australian mining industry. Attendees will engage with a high-quality audience of mining industry professionals looking to evolve, adapt, and improve their mining operations.
