MINEX Eurasia Conference offers speakers and organisations physical and online platforms to share information, strategies, innovative concepts, case studies, and projects linked to mining development in Central Asia, Mongolia, the Caspian Area, and Europe.
Please review the Speaking and Corporate presentation terms and application forms below.
The mining industry in Europe and Central Asia has faced significant challenges due to the continuous Russia-Ukraine conflict, escalating energy expenses, and the disruption of global logistics and supply networks. It is imperative for mining companies operating in this region to effectively communicate their tangible measures in response to these obstacles, all the while upholding their commitments towards climate change and ESG (Environmental, Social, and Governance) standards, to gain and maintain recognition on an international scale.
The conference organised in London, offers Junior mining companies an opportunity to present their projects to global investors managing portfolios in the EMEA region aware of the regional risks. Post BREXIT London retains its reputation as the centre of global mining finance and accounts for 21% of the total market capitalisation of all listed mining companies worldwide. 4 of the 10 largest publicly traded mining companies are listed in London. This presence has attracted world-leading mining investors and financiers as well as M&A consultancies and service companies, resulting in a global centre of excellence supported by an extensive supply chain.
In an intensely competitive landscape, the importance of attracting Foreign Investors and Partners cannot be overstated for the Government-led reforms and national initiatives aimed at sustainable development and management of mineral resources. Brining on one platform neighbouring countries, the conference greatly amplifies opportunities to foster collaboration to secure international investors and businesses. Additionally, this collaborative approach facilitates the exchange of valuable insights and experiences between governments, enabling the implementation of effective strategies based on the lessons learned from other nations.
The vast modernization and technological transformation of mining enterprises across Europe, Central Asia, and Mongolia have revolutionized the industry and opened incredible opportunities for technology and consulting companies to thrive and expand their businesses. As mining companies embrace advanced technologies such as automation, artificial intelligence, Internet of Things (IoT), data analytics, Net Zero Mining, etc. they are seeking partnerships with specialised technology providers and consultants who can help them navigate this complex landscape.

MINEX Eurasia Conference will be organised in London in a hybrid format connecting remote and in-person delegates, speakers, and exhibitors. Speakers will be presenting in person and remotely.
Access to the Forum’s sessions as well as a web application and live broadcasts is provided exclusively to registered participants.
Remote viewers will be able to watch the live broadcast of the sessions and send questions to presenters via online chat.
If you plan to use slides during your presentation, please note that they must be submitted before the event to allow time for discussion with the conference moderator/s and testing on our Audio-Visual systems. All submitted slides will be preloaded on our PCs and ready for your presentation. During the actual presentation, speakers who will be physically present may demonstrate their slides using a clicker while standing at the lectern or seated at the head table. Our technician can also change slides on your prompt. The slides can be presented with built-in videos, animations, and sound.
For live remote presentations, we will be using Zoom, which allows speakers to share their presentations using the “screen share” function. Before the event, our technicians will contact you to test the connection and provide technical training if needed. To minimize the risk of connection issues during the live event, it is strongly recommended that you pre-record your presentation so that it can be played in case the connection is disrupted or unstable.
In addition, to screen sharing and pre-recording, Zoom offers other features that can make your presentation more interactive and engaging for your audience. For example, you can invite a guest speaker to share their thoughts with your participants, or you can use the “Around the Horn” technique where participants are asked to check in with a one-breath statement.
The exact time of each presentation will be confirmed in the final agenda. Corporate presentations should be aimed for 10 – 15 minutes or about 10-20 PowerPoint slides. Keynote and speaker presentations should not exceed 20 minutes or about 15-30 slides.
We would prefer that you were presenting using our system as connecting your laptop or device could take time and potentially disrupt the set-up of presentation equipment. If the use of your device is essential for your presentation, we will need to test it prior to the event. Please contact us at least 5 working before the event to plan the test.
For your upcoming panel discussion, it is important for the moderator to contact all panellists before the event to pre-agree on discussion topics and questions. During the live event, the moderator will invite panellists to answer questions in the pre-agreed order and will handle questions from the audience and remote viewers.
The moderator’s job is to encourage the panellists to give great performances, to keep the discussion engaging and avoid a predictable speaking order. Instead, they can mix up the order or use other techniques to keep the audience interested.
We will allocate some time for answering questions from the audience at the end of each session, panel discussion, or keynote. In-person attendees can ask questions using rowing microphones, while remote viewers can send questions to individual presenters or the whole panel via online chat. The moderators will pre-view all chat questions and ask presenters to answer the most relevant and interesting ones during a live debate or Q&A time. Additionally, all participants can send questions to presenters before, during, and after the event using the contact form published in the online profile of presenters. Legitimate questions will be forwarded to presenters via email by the organisers.
