With less than five weeks left until Commerce North West open the gates to one of Eastern Australia’s largest mining and engineering based exhibitions, things are ramping up for a full three day interactive program.

Proceedings kick off at 7am on Tuesday May 16 with a business breakfast at the Mount Isa Civic Centre.

The breakfast is hosted by Department of State Development and trade and industry representatives are then invited to take in the exhibits at Buchanan Park from 10am.

Tuesday’s MineX program will also feature an all new Mining in the North West information session hosted on site, where registered guests and exhibitors will hear about big mining projects in the region.

There will be speakers ranging from Jemena discussing the Northern Gas Pipeline linking Tennant Creek and Mount Isa, through to MMG providing an overview on the Dugald River mine north of Cloncurry.

With the three day program to also feature a number of evening functions, interactive exhibits, show specials and displays, MineX 2017 Event Manager Katie Schrodter spoke more on diversifying and expanding the event.

“While Commerce North West will have an enormous line up of exhibitors showcasing the latest in innovative products and services this year we have also concentrated on ways to ensure the whole region can benefit from the event” Ms Schrodter said.

“From growing the popular Meet the Buyer sessions on Tuesday, which will feature a number of tailored meetings between industry representatives and exhibitors; right through to increasing on site catering, we have tried to implement as much feedback from past events as possible to maximise benefits and satisfaction to everyone from exhibitors, local business and the general public, right through to our large corporates.”
