“The North West Minerals Province - where good news stories keep coming.”

The conference is the ideas exchange of the event and brings industry leaders and educators from both the private and public sectors together with other key stakeholders.
The focus for the discussions in 2025 will focus on the developing mining and energy projects in and around Mount Isa. There are dozens of these projects dotted around the entire North West. This event will bring together key stakeholders to share ideas, discuss challenges and seek ways to advance their projects.
Delegates are welcome to attend both conference sessions or select sessions of interest and invest more time in meeting with exhibitors in the main auditorium.

Alternatively, outdoor exhibits are warmly invited and will be on the lawn in front of the Civic Centre. This area will be fenced off and security guards employed to protect your displays.
Morning tea, lunch and afternoon tea will be served on the exhibition floor to ensure delegates attending the forum sessions have ample opportunity and time to meet with exhibitors.
Additionally, the Wednesday afternoon networking event will take place within the exhibition to increase networking opportunities and generate business discussions. Different sponsorship opportunities are available and we invite potential sponsors to consider which option is best for them.

The venue is crucial to an event’s success and the Mount Isa Civic Centre offers the perfect venue for the 2025 North West MPX. Situated right in the heart of Mount Isa, the Civic Centre offers easy walking access from the majority of accommodation providers in town, and for those choosing to drive, there is ample parking and easy access from West Street.
The centre itself has a variety of rooms and spaces available for use offering flexibility and freedom in one package. In 2025, we are shaking things up a bit by combining both the conference and the exhibition in the auditorium. Outdoor exhibits will be easily accessed on the front lawn.
