IMARC is a significant global mining event, attracting widespread media and community attention.

It also attracts some groups in the community who take the opportunity to express their views on our industry through public gatherings and protest activity.

We respect the right of people to express their views peacefully and respectfully and we welcome open and transparent debate about the future of our industry. 

But we need to recognise and plan for the fact that there may be a level of community protest that seeks to disrupt the event.

We are working very closely with our host partners in Sydney, including NSW Police and security agencies, to ensure the event is as safe, secure, and as accessible as possible for our delegates, sponsors, speakers - and of course for the many staff, contractors and suppliers who make the event possible.

Appropriate security controls have been designed with relevant agencies to support the safety of attendees at the event. We are also increasing our communications with delegates to ensure you continue to receive regular, timely and practical information on any changes to access and to the event program itself.

As you know, IMARC is Australia’s largest mining event, attracting widespread media and community attention. It also attracts some groups in the community who take the opportunity to express their views on our industry through public gatherings and protest activity.

We respect the right of people to express their views peacefully and respectfully and we welcome open and transparent debate about the future of our industry. But we need to recognise and plan for the fact that there may be a level of community activity around the Darling Harbour precinct that seeks to disrupt or otherwise draw attention to the event.

There are a number of steps you can take to minimise your exposure to protest action.

• DO NOT wear your name badge until you reach the front entrance of the IMARC Expo floor.
• Try to avoid wearing any distinguishing items that will link you to the event, such as logos.
• If you are offered any protest handouts, please accept and DO NOT dispose of them until you are out of sight.
• Do NOT engage or debate or respond to invitations to converse with members of the public on your way to and from the event.
• DO report any aggressive or threatening behaviour immediately to the many police that will be present of to the IMARC team.
• If you feel uncertain or threatened in any way, please approach the nearest uniformed officer to request assistance to access the event. They are there to help.
• If travelling with your own security staff, ensure you have liaised with the event security team ahead of your arrival.

The IMARC team will communicate with you in the lead up to and during the event, this includes providing you with real-time advice on any changes to the program and to access and security requirements. Please keep an eye on your SMS and emails for regular updates.

The most common security threat would be receipt of an email from a fraudulent account, commonly referred to as a Phishing Email.

Examples of characteristics of a Phishing email include:

• The email makes unrealistic threats or demands e.g.: reply now or your login will be cancelled
• There is a catch e.g.: you may be asked to send money for expenses or fees
• Poor spelling or grammar e.g.: replacing letters with numbers and symbols
• A mismatched URL e.g.: ensure any hyperlinked addresses match the embedded link
• You are asked for sensitive information e.g.: request for a password or credit card details

If you believe you have received a "Phishing" email or link, please follow this procedure:

• Do not click any link or reply to the email in question
• Take a screenshot of the email you have received
• Send an email with the screenshot attached to our security team via security@imarcglobal.com
