The GRX26 program is guided by an Industry Working Group (IWG) of senior executives who represent the breadth of Australia's resources ecosystem, from mining operators and METS innovators to industry bodies and technology leaders.
These are people living the challenges this conference addresses: global competition for critical minerals, the urgency of technology deployment at scale, and the need for genuine collaboration across the value chain. Their role is to ensure the program delivers on the promise of this year's theme, Competing Globally in the Critical Era, by holding every session to a single standard: does it move our industry forward?
The IWG has shaped content strategy, validated speakers, reviewed abstracts, and challenged the program to reflect what the sector actually needs, not what's convenient to present.
Their guiding principle, and the thread that runs through every element of GRX26, is that this must be Where Innovation Meets Implementation, a conference where attendees leave with the strategies, connections, and conviction to act. The IWG's involvement is your assurance that this program has been stress-tested by the people who understand what's at stake.
