Today is the final day to check out RIU Conferences’ Gold Coast Investment Showcase, an annual event that gives investors the opportunity to engage directly with ASX-listed companies.
Held at the JW Marriott Gold Coast Resort & Spa on 11–12 June 2026, the Gold Coast Investment Showcase features 41 companies from a range of sectors, including resources, energy, tech, biotech, and medtech.
General Manager Jaxon Crabb tells Mining.com.au that the Gold Coast event brings in a different variety of investing groups from RIU Conferences’ Fremantle and Sydney events each year.
While the RIU Explorers Conference and RIU Sydney Resources Round-Up typically attract analysts, fund managers, private equity groups, brokers, and institutional investors, Crabb says the Gold Coast Investment Showcase is largely attended by high-net-worth retirees.
“If the companies are ticking all the right boxes when it comes to the individual’s preference for investing, there will be the opportunity for those companies to be able to engage closely with the investment communities that attend our Gold Coast show,” Crabb says.
“Most of the retirees that come to this show have been coming for five or 10-plus years, so they’ve seen it all.
“From our end, for RIU, all we’re set out to do is just provide the platform and the facility for the companies to share their details with the investment communities and then leave it to all the parties to see what happens.”
The 2026 uplift
The Gold Coast Investment Showcase attracted 41 presenting companies this year, with another 10 on the waitlist, compared with around 30 presenters in each of the previous two years.
“That would probably be a strong indicator to suggest the companies are the ones that are feeling the uplift in the investment interest, hence the reason they want to be at a high-net-worth retiree self-managed super fund-style conference,” Crabb tells this news service.
Resource-focused companies attending include Basin Energy (ASX:BSN), Lincoln Minerals (ASX:LML), Renegade Exploration (ASX:RNX), and Viking Mines (ASX:VKA).
