Join us on the exhibition floor for Critical Conversations

Critical Conversations will be a small hub where hot topics relating to critical minerals will be discussed in a relaxed, conversational style. Delegates will have the opportunity to sit in and listen or join in the conversation at their leisure. Expert facilitators will ensure the conversation stays on track whilst drawing out the key issues from the group assembled. The discussions will run during break times and utilise different areas within the exhibition.

These conversations will help facilitate new themes and topics for focus at future Critical Minerals events.

Last year's topics included:

• How can critical mineral exploration and discovery in Australia be supported by precompetitive geoscience?

• What are some of the major challenges to Australia’s ambition of extending our strong critical minerals position downstream?

• How do we improve the ESG credentials and circularity opportunities for critical minerals in Australia?

• What are some of the challenges for discovery and development of critical minerals deposits? How will we overcome them?

• How can we better share data about the character and composition of mineral resources to help scale up critical minerals in Australia?

• Critical minerals and decarbonisation - does it equate to a once in a lifetime opportunity to grow supply chains in Australia?
