The wait for the next MINExpo® is nearly over. Organisers have been hard at work planning a comprehensive event that will give all areas of mining the tools necessary to streamline operations, improve safety and lower costs.

To date, approximately 1,450 companies have signed on to exhibit their latest products, services, technology and equipment. They’ll fill up 12 exhibit halls in the Las Vegas Convention Center. The halls will be open Monday, September 26 – Wednesday, September 28 from 9am-5pm.

An education program is being developed where experts will present the latest techniques and best practices in the field. Plan time to learn about new trends, review research and explore creative solutions to common challenges. And receive professional development hours.

MINExpo will once again host a general session open to all participants. Registration is open with the registration fee including the exhibits and the education sessions.

And there’s more—MINExpo will include luncheons, optional tours, networking opportunities and much more.

Attendee registration and housing is now open! Registration discounts are available before August 12, 2016.
