The Society of Mining, Metallurgy & Exploration (SME) has announced the focus and dates for its XXXI IMPC-International Mineral Processing Congress (IMPC).

Taking place at National Harbor in Washington, DC, on Sept. 29 ‒ Oct. 3, 2024, industry experts around the globe will explore advances in science and technology for mineral processing.

The structure of global energy supply and demand is undergoing a dramatic transformation with shifts towards renewable and alternative sources of electric power and the electrification of transportation.

With a focus on Mineral Processing for the Energy Transition, leading researchers, engineers, and experts will address how mineral processing plays an increasingly important role in securing the cost-effective supply of a wide range of minerals for a sustainable and stable future.

At IMPC 2024, attendees will experience a comprehensive array of options to increase your knowledge and understanding of cutting-edge industry advances, including:

A robust technical program with notable keynote and plenary speakers
Short courses: focused learning from global experts
Field trip opportunities for a first-hand look at local operations
An exhibit hall featuring industry vendors tuned-in to solving your problems
Exciting social and networking opportunities to expand your professional connections

“One of the biggest strengths of the IMPC is that it truly brings together the international mineral processing community,” said John Marsden, IMPC 2024 chair. “For students, academia, the industry, and suppliers alike, it’s a great opportunity for everyone to get together and exchange ideas.”
