About the Conference
The Australian Copper Conference provides one of the few corporate
events dedicated solely to the copper environment. In the last four years
the Conference has grown to be an essential corporate event for all major
participants engaged in the copper industry. The Australian Copper Conference
has built its reputation around the “core to consumer” perspective, catering
for a variety of topics including exploration, developing, mining, financing,
suppliers and investment.
The 2014 Australian Copper Conference brings together Australia’s leading
players in the copper mining sector with an audience of industry experts
and bona-fide retail and institutional investors eager to discover who the big
winners will be in this valuable market sector going forward.
Listen to experts outlining the latest market developments and the impact
these outcomes can have on the copper industry. The conference networking
functions are a great place to build relationships by engaging with senior
decision makers and existing clients.
