IMARC Social Impact

Driving positive social outcomes within the communities in which we operate

IMARC and our partners are passionate about making a positive and valuable social impact within the communities in which mining operates. While the event itself highlights what and how the industry is doing this as part of individual company or collaborative efforts, IMARC's organisers, Beacon Events, are also driving this through some of the exciting initiatives that we support through the event.

NextGen Program Partners

With the generous support of IMARC 2025 attendees and Beacon Events, a total of $15,000 was donated to our NextGen Program Partners: CoRE Learning Foundation, Australian Earth Science Education, and AREEA - Australian Resources & Energy Employer Association's Bright Future STEM Program. In 2026, we look forward to expanding our NextGen Programs, and help cultivate connections between industry and its future workforce.

Balance for Better

IMARC continues its commitment to being an event that promotes Balance for Better; highlighting the impact and achievements of women in mining while also reflecting the strides being made industry-wide to be more gender balanced and showcase the industry-wide benefits of diversity, equity and inclusion. Over 150 speakers at IMARC 2025 represented women in mining from financial, technical, operational and leadership roles, many of whom champion diversity and inclusion with their colleagues from across the industry. From topics and speakers providing technical presentations, investor insights, and plenary keynotes, IMARC’s commitment to Balance for Better & DEI is seen throughout. For IMARC 2026, IMARC will continue its commitment to provide and create opportunities, welcoming people from all walks of life, and of all backgrounds.
