GRX25 will showcase Australia’s technology leadership and innovative solutions set to shape the future of the global resources sector.
The Global Resources Innovation Expo (GRX) is debuting in Brisbane from May 20–22, representing a dynamic collaboration between Austmine and AusIMM.
This partnership merges the strengths of two leading industry associations to deliver a global platform for innovation and discussion in the resources sector.
GRX25 builds on the legacy of the Austmine Conference, which has long been a cornerstone of mining innovation. The key theme of the event is “embracing a new era”, as the conference is rebranded to reflect the dynamic changes currently happening in the industry.
This evolution promises to amplify the event’s impact by bringing together a broader and more diverse audience under the banner of “by industry, for industry”.
Austmine chief executive officer Chris Gibbs Stewart said she is proud that the conference has become the leading innovation events on the global mining calendar.
“Since its inception in 2005, we have showcased world-leading METS [mining equipment, technology and services] organisations with a directed focus on driving the importance of innovation in our industry,” she said.
“Our partnership with the AusIMM allows us to amplify aligned messages and offer greater relevance to a global audience.
“Through this collaboration, we are uniting our powerful communities to drive important conversations, showcase innovation, and elevate the industry to greater heights.”
The joint effort between Austmine and AusIMM is designed to unite their respective networks to spark conversations, foster collaboration, and propel the resources industry forward.
GRX25 will serve as a deep dive into how new technology can improve efficiency, safety and performance in this new era.
The event will be an opportunity to learn from industry pioneers and examine how other professionals are leading change, driving innovation, enhancing environmental sustainability and fostering resilient communities around the world.
The program includes five plenary presentations and multiple breakout sessions, as well as opportunities to network alongside the chance to explore the exhibition floor and engage with industry peers.
By leveraging each organisation’s expertise and influence, the event aims to enhance the reach and relevance of Australia’s mining innovations on a global scale.
Attendees can expect a showcase of cutting-edge technologies, thought-provoking presentations, and networking opportunities designed to tackle industry challenges and drive progress. GRX25 will also provide a platform for international collaboration, strengthening Australia’s position as a leader in mining and resources innovation.
With the inaugural event just months away, industry players are already preparing to leverage this opportunity for growth, knowledge-sharing, and the exchange of best practices.
GRX25 is set to be a transformative event for Australia’s mining and resources sectors, cementing its place as a key milestone in the global industry calendar.
