Annual Gala Dinner

Join the Adelaide Branch for their Annual Gala Dinner.

About this event

Join the Branch for the highlight event of the year! The Adelaide Branch Annual Gala Dinner presents an unforgettable evening at the stunning Sanctuary Room at the Adelaide Zoo.

This year we are joined by our guest speaker Mr James Champion de Crespigny, Managing Director and CEO of Catalyst Metals, who will be discussing The M&A rush that did end: A look at the importance of corporate activity amongst the world’s greatest mine operators.

Australia’s mining sector is powered by some of the world’s best operators and technical minds, yet today’s market increasingly values companies through a purely technical lens. The rise of professional directors, heightened scrutiny, market volatility and alternative asset classes has dampened entrepreneurialism and reduced corporate activity. That’s a problem because the great mining companies of the past half‑century were built not just on technical excellence, but on bold, continuous M&A.
