The International Mining and Resources Conference and Expo (IMARC) will once again call Sydney home in 2025, as announced on the final day of the 2024 event.
A record 9000 delegates from 115 countries wrapped up three days of intensive networking, learning and deal-making culminating in the much-anticipated Gala Dinner.
IMARC COO, Anita Richards, thanked the efforts of IMARC’s Founding Partners, Austmine, AusIMM and Mines and Money, and the support of the New South Wales Government as Host Partner.
“A special thank you must also go to our sponsors and exhibitors, whose invaluable contributions are propelling us into the future. I also want to acknowledge our incredible team, whose dedication and passion drive this event forward,” Ms Richards said.
The 2025 event has already sold around 70 per cent of exhibition space.
Peter Lowenhoff, Maspro’s National Sales Manager, said IMARC 2024 had been “wildly successful,” particularly in terms of how easily his team could connect with customers and stakeholders.
“The event itself is such a great opportunity for brand exposure and marketing, as well as networking, learning and staying in touch with global issues and opportunities.
“It has been a great return on investment, and we look forward to next year’s event.”
Steve Maxwell, Global Account Manager for Aveda, Schneider’s software arm, said this year’s event ticked all the boxes and they’d be back again in 2025.
“It’s been a fantastic week of meetings and networking for us this year,” he said.
“We had a much larger presence this year and also had speakers on the program, so this increased our presence and ensured we were prominent, with a stand that was of the right size and space to host meetings, meet with our Australian clients, and generally maintain our profile.”
