MetFest is truly an exciting highlight on regional calendars, connecting teams of metallurgists, process engineers, and other professionals for a fantastic day full of networking and growth!  

We are thrilled to announce that MetFest will be making its grand return to Perth on October 29, 2025! This is a wonderful opportunity for professionals across the resources sector to come together for a vibrant day of technical exchanges and networking.  

This year’s theme, "Metallurgy: A Crucial Strength Throughout the Value Chain - Share, Learn, Collaborate and Actions," is designed to celebrate the diverse and interwoven roles of metallurgy—covering everything from resource definition and geo-metallurgy to processing and optimisation. We’ll be diving into the exciting challenges and innovations that shape our industry today!  

We warmly invite early-career metallurgists and mineral processors to submit abstracts and share their remarkable work.  

MetFest in Perth is an inclusive platform for exchanging ideas, receiving valuable feedback, and fostering connections with peers and mentors.
