About the 2026 Conference

We are pleased to announce the return of the Critical Minerals Conference Series, taking place June 21–23, 2026.

Building on the strong momentum of previous conferences, the 2026 series will once again bring together industry leaders, innovators, policymakers, and stakeholders at the forefront of Canada’s critical minerals sector. As critical minerals play an increasingly central role in economic growth, energy transition, and global supply chains, the need for collaboration and meaningful dialogue continues to grow.

This year’s conference will feature a growing lineup of confirmed sponsors, supporters, and expert speakers who will explore emerging opportunities, challenges, and solutions shaping the future of Canada’s resource economy. Through curated programming and dynamic discussions, the conference aims to foster collaboration, share insights, and support the continued evolution of this vital industry.

Registration is now open, and additional program and speaker announcements will be shared in the coming weeks.

We look forward to welcoming returning and new participants in June 2026 as we continue advancing conversations around Canada’s critical minerals future.
