The Adelaide Showgrounds will be transformed into the epicentre of the Asia-Pacific mining industry, as thousands of international industry leaders flock to the city for three days of innovation, collaboration and networking.
Prime Creative Media general manager – events, Siobhan Rocks, said the event’s inaugural South Australian iteration is a momentous occasion for the state and the mining industry alike.
“We’re so excited to bring this established and respected event to a new frontier for the first time,” Rocks said. “South Australia is fast emerging as the driving force of Australia’s mining industry, and we’re proud to put this event at the forefront of that momentum.
“Bringing together thousands of mining industry leaders promises inspiring conversations and groundbreaking ideas – it’s shaping up to be a must-attend event.
“It’s the perfect opportunity to build new connections, share knowledge, and explore fresh opportunities.”
Asia-Pacific’s International Mining Exhibition (AIMEX), which has been held in Sydney for over 20 years, was secured to South Australia last year by Business Events Adelaide.
The event is expected to attract thousands of delegates from across Australia and globally, with registered attendees heralding from more than 30 countries, and more than 230 exhibitors on the exhibition floor.
Business Events Adelaide chief executive officer Damien Kitto said that AIMEX will not only generate a strong financial return but also provide a significant economic tail of enduring benefits to South Australia’s important energy sector.
“Business Events Adelaide tries as far as possible to secure business events in industry sectors that allow our global expertise to come to the fore,” Kitto said.
“By hosting AIMEX in our state, mining and energy providers will be able to develop lasting connections and relationships. AIMEX is a great fit for Adelaide, and we share Prime Creative Media’s ambition to make AIMEX the world’s largest mining event.”
