CRU’s 18th World Copper Conference is the world premier copper conference and attracts over 500 delegates.  Together with CESCO Week, the event constitutes one of the most important gatherings in the mining industry. This CEO-level meeting boasts an impressive delegation of industry decision-makers and is the best opportunity to hear from copper mining and smelting industry leaders. Last year’s event included keynote presentations from C-Suite executives from the world’s leading mining companies and the 2019 event will feature a similarly impressive speaker line-up.

The 2019 conference agenda includes: a CEO panel on creating value; technical innovation project risk management and costs; key opportunities and threats to copper demand; ratings, finance and capital allocation; sustainable copper; and a look at the copper price under different market scenarios. additionally, there is a pre-conference workshop on day two about Chinese stimulus measures.



The conference is known for its excellent content about the prognosis for the industry, and it combines economic, financial, technical, political and societal perspectives to give delegates a complete panorama of the challenges and opportunities facing the industry.
