More than half of the 200 confirmed speakers at next month’s International Mining and Resources Conference (IMARC) in Sydney are women, reflecting its commitment to “balance for better”.
Held at the ICC Sydney 29-31 October, the conference this year is championing equality, diversity, and inclusion while showcasing cutting-edge equipment and technology from resources and mining equipment, technology, and services (METS) companies.
IMARC Chief Operating Officer Anita Richards says the large contingent of female speakers reflects the event’s “unwavering commitment to balance for better, an initiative dedicated to promoting equality, diversity, and inclusion throughout the mining sector”.
“We are proud to feature over 150 women in financial, technical, operational, and leadership roles, delivering technical presentations, investor insights, and keynote addresses. This diversity truly mirrors the evolving landscape of the mining and resources industry,” Richards adds.
With more than 600 speakers, over 9,000 delegates, and 20,000 square metres of exhibition space, IMARC is one of the largest global business events hosted in Australia each year.
This year’s conference is offering opportunities for decision-makers across the entire supply chain, including site, facilities, procurement, and fleet managers, as well as original equipment manufacturers (OEMs).
“IMARC provides Australian OEMs and METS companies with unparalleled opportunities to connect with global supply chain decision-makers. This year, we are also focusing on empowering the next generation of executives responsible for making pivotal investment decisions for their companies,” Richards says.
Mining.com.au is this year again sending a contingent to attend and cover the event.
