Australia’s longest running mining event opens 23 September in its new home at the Adelaide Showgrounds.
Asia-Pacific’s International Mining Exhibition (AIMEX), held in Sydney for over 20 years, was secured to South Australia last year by Business Events Adelaide. The event is expected to attract over 4,500 delegates from over 30 countries, with some 250 exhibitors covering more than 4,000sqm of exhibition space.
Each AIMEX contributes $45m to the state economy and the show will be held biennially in Adelaide until 2033.
Alongside an exhibition, AIMEX 2025 will host a conference programme with speakers including Hon. Tom Koutsantonis MP, South Australian minister for energy and mining; Nicola McFarlane, interim CEO of the SA Chamber of Mines & Energy; Paul Martyn, CEO Department for Energy and Mining and a host of others.
The AIMEX 2025 Prospect Awards will recognise achievements in the mining and minerals processing industry within Australia, and be hosted at the Adelaide Oval on 24 September.
Business Events Adelaide CEO Damien Kitto said that AIMEX will not only generate a strong financial return but also provide a significant economic tail of enduring benefits to South Australia’s important mining and energy sector. “Business Events Adelaide tries as far as possible to secure business events in industries that allow our global expertise to come to the fore. By hosting AIMEX in our state, mining and energy providers will be able to develop lasting connections and relationships. AIMEX is a great fit for Adelaide.”
Organiser Prime Creative Media’s general manager – events, Siobhan Rocks, said: “We’re so excited to bring this established and respected event to a new frontier for the first time. South Australia is fast emerging as the driving force of Australia’s mining industry, and we’re proud to put this event at the forefront of that momentum.”
