Forging stronger connections in mining: A combined conference experience
The Life of Mine | Mine Waste and Tailings Conference 2025 unites two well-established events into one, setting a new standard for mining industry engagement. It brings together mining professionals, researchers, and industry leaders to connect and collaborate. This combined event also provides enhanced networking opportunities, enabling participants to share insights and explore interconnected sectors.
A conference focused on practical solutions and sustainability
The combined conference returns to core essentials, prioritising practical, real-world solutions and sustainable practices that delegates can implement directly. Focusing on key themes such as responsible mine lifecycle planning, decarbonisation, and waste management, this event unites industry professionals to learn, share and apply strategies that foster long-term resilience within mining operations.
History of the two conferences
Life of Mine Conference
The Life of Mine Conference has built a legacy over six successful iterations, with a focus on responsible, end-to-end planning for mining projects. Renowned for its holistic coverage of topics like regional rehabilitation, circular economy integration, decarbonisation, and effective regulatory frameworks, the conference attracted professionals in mine planning, closure, and environmental responsibility, making it an essential forum for advancing sustainable mining practices.
Mine Waste and Tailings Conference
Launched in 2015, AusIMM's Mine Waste and Tailings Conference has established itself as the industry’s premier event for advancing safe, compliant waste management practices. The conference explores themes including risk assessment, tailings dam management, stakeholder engagement, and post-closure site monitoring. It has become a hub for experts in environmental risk management, waste storage solutions, and mine rehabilitation, attracting a highly engaged, specialised audience.
An integrated event for today’s mining challenges
With the Life of Mine | Mine Waste and Tailings Conference 2025, delegates no longer need to choose between conferences for mine lifecycle planning or waste management. This unified event provides a comprehensive platform, covering a broader spectrum of critical topics, including mine dewatering, social performance, decarbonisation, regional collaboration, biodiversity investments, and more. This combined conference is an ideal platform to address industry challenges and explore the innovative solutions that will shape the future of mining.
