Yes, we are excited to welcome the industry back to Melbourne, in person at the Melbourne Showgrounds, from 25-27 October 2021.
With the world's borders still locked down, IMARC 2021 will be a hybrid event, providing an opportunity for people from around the world to still participate virtually.
This year will see the introduction of a new venue to showcase our industry, giving us the opportunity to launch a brand-new outdoor exhibition space, allowing IMARC to showcase bigger and better machinery and equipment than ever before. To make way for this exciting event growth, we will move the 2021 International Mining and Resources Conference + EXPO (IMARC) to the Melbourne Showgrounds in 2021.
Moving the event to the Melbourne Showgrounds also enables us to plan for an event with ample space for social distancing, following the current recommendations made by global and local health authorities. It will also allow us to pivot to outdoor spaces to ensure we can welcome as many of our industry friends to IMARC in 2021 within our COVID-19 Safe Guidelines.
As a hybrid event, IMARC 2021 will attract both in-person and virtual attendees.
