The inaugural Global Resources Innovation Expo in Brisbane is set to secure its place as a key milestone on the industry’s calendar.
The Australian mining sector is set to take centre stage at the Global Resources Innovation Expo (GRX25) in Brisbane from May 20–22.
Previously the Austmine Conference and Exhibition, GRX25 builds on the well-earned legacy of what has been a long-standing cornerstone of Australian mining innovation for years.
This major event is a collaboration between industry bodies Austmine and AusIMM, bringing together two of the sector’s leading associations to create a platform for innovation, discussion and collaboration.
The event’s theme – ‘Embracing a new era’ – reflects the significant transformations currently shaping the industry. The rebranded conference aims to amplify its impact by reaching a broader and more diverse audience under the guiding principle of ‘by industry, for industry’.
Austmine chief executive officer Chris Gibbs Stewart said she is especially proud that the conference has grown into a leading innovation event in the global mining calendar.
“Since its inception in 2005, we have showcased world-leading METS [mining equipment, technology and services] organisations with a directed focus on driving the importance of innovation in our industry,” she said.
Gibbs Stewart highlighted the importance setting the tone of collaboration between the associations.
“Our partnership with AusIMM allows us to amplify aligned messages and offer greater relevance to a global audience,” she said. “Through this collaboration, we are uniting our powerful communities to drive important conversations, showcase innovation, and elevate the industry to greater heights.”
GRX25 will provide a comprehensive exploration of how emerging technologies are shaping the future of mining and resources.
The event will highlight the ways in which innovation can improve efficiency, safety and performance while also supporting environmental sustainability and fostering resilient communities.
Attendees will have the opportunity to hear from industry pioneers and learn from professionals leading change in the sector. The event will feature five plenary presentations and multiple breakout sessions over the course of three days, offering a platform for knowledge-sharing and discussion.
Alongside the conference program, an interactive exhibition floor will allow attendees to engage with industry peers and explore the latest advancements in mining technology and solutions.
By leveraging the expertise and influence of Austmine and AusIMM, GRX25 is set to enhance the global reach of Australia’s mining innovations. The event will serve as a key platform for international collaboration, reinforcing the country’s position as a leader in mining and resources innovation.
With the inaugural event just months away, industry players are already preparing to take advantage of this unique opportunity for growth, networking and the exchange of best practices.
