The International Mining and Resources Conference (IMARC) is where global mining leaders connect with technology, finance and the future. Now in its 6th year, it is Australia’s largest mining event bringing together over 7000 decision makers, mining leaders, policy makers, investors, commodity buyers, technical experts, innovators and educators from over 100 countries to Melbourne for four days of learning, deal-making and unparalleled networking.
A few members from the MICROMINE team recently shared their top reasons for attending IMARC 2019.
1. It’s one of Australia’s biggest mining tradeshows
“IMARC is fast becoming Australia’s biggest mining tradeshow. This year there is about a 40% increase on last year which will make it the biggest yet. The event covers all aspects of mining from exploration to investment, optimisation through to new technologies – it’s a real differentiator.”
Vicky Bevilaqua
Chief Commercial Officer
2. The focus on Technology Trends
“The networking opportunities available as many of our existing clients & potential clients in the one location means for a busy but productive 3 days.
The focus on technology trends and being able to attend talks from other METS companies provides valuable insight into where the industry is heading with technology and allows us to align our innovative vision accordingly.”
Chris Higgins
Pitram Product Strategy Manager
4. Being able to keep abreast of industry innovations
“We get to hear a lot about what our peers are doing and innovations in the industry. New mining techniques and equipment, unpublished data, and learn from thought-leaders that I may not have previously heard speak before.
Being able to keep abreast of the activities of some of the biggest names in the industry, in addition to some of the regular and new faces in it. Conferences give us the opportunity to talk to these people one-on-one about what they are working on. We also have the opportunity to ask presenters questions about their work and the rationale behind it, which you can’t do when reading journal articles.”
Kate Gilbey
Global Marketing Manager
5. Build relationships and speak with clients and experts face-to-face
“IMARC gives me the opportunity to meet with our clients and discuss their successes & assist where necessary. It’s also a great opportunity to introduce our product offerings to new clients.”
Lea Gould
Business Development Manager
