With just weeks to go, the full conference program for Asia-Pacific’s International Mining Exhibition (AIMEX) has been revealed, promising three days of industry insight, innovation, and connection in Adelaide from 23–25 September.
Opening AIMEX’s first South Australian iteration will be South Australian Minister for Energy and Mining, the Hon Tom Koutsantonis MP, who will welcome delegates to Adelaide and kick off three days of intensive networking, thought-leadership and industry insight at AIMEX 2025.
Held alongside the expansive AIMEX exhibition floor, the 2025 conference will bring together policymakers, producers, innovators, and experts for a packed agenda covering safety, sustainability, emerging technologies, and the future of critical commodities.
The program kicks off on 23 September with an official address from South Australian Minister for Mining, the Hon Tom Koutsantonis, and key representatives from the national industry sharing their insight on sector trends and challenges.
Across the three days, attendees can expect:
- Spotlight sessions from industry leaders including Hitachi, BHP, Andromeda Metals, Magnetite Mines, Boss Energy, and TUNRA
- Keynotes from Charlie Paterson (Royal Flying Doctor Service) and Mitchell H Hooke AM, addressing global shifts and the evolving future of mining
- Panels exploring key themes:
- Safety and workforce resilience
- Sustainability and decarbonisation
- Green iron and copper
- Higher education and skills
- Technology and autonomous innovation
- Uranium, emerging commodities, and minerals processing
Day Two brings major focus to the future of green steelmaking and Australia’s role in fuelling global nuclear demand, while Day Three shines a spotlight on South Australia’s emerging projects, bulk materials handling, and hidden operational challenges across the sector.
With a diverse lineup and strong speaker participation from across government, industry, and research, this year’s program is set to deliver unmatched value to mining professionals at all levels.
Marketing manager of mining events at Prime Creative Media, Rebecca Todesco, said AIMEX’s conference program brings together the voices and topics that matter most to the industry.
“We’ve worked closely with the Australian Mining team to curate a lineup that speaks directly to the challenges and opportunities the industry is facing; from critical minerals to workforce resilience, and the technologies reshaping how we operate,” Todesco said.
“With input from government, producers, researchers, and major industry players, the AIMEX 2025 program offers three days of real insight, practical takeaways, and future-focused conversation.”
Registration for AIMEX is now open – which includes full access to the conference and exhibition across all three days.
Running alongside AIMEX’s expansive show floor, AIMEX will host not one, but two carefully-curated conference stages.
