Welcome to Country and Ministerial Fireside Chat
GRX26 opens with a Welcome to Country followed by a ministerial fireside chat that sets the strategic context for the conference. Rather than a traditional address, this conversational format allows senior government leaders to engage directly on Australia's policy priorities for the resources sector, the role of innovation in maintaining global competitiveness, and the partnerships required to secure the nation's critical minerals future.
Moderated by Stephen Durkin, CEO of AusIMM, this opening session establishes the urgency and opportunity that will frame every conversation across the three-day program.
Be in your seat for the opening. The strategic context set here will frame every session and conversation for the days ahead.
