Asia Gold Conference builds on the global bull run for gold and precious metals and made its debut in Singapore in November 2024
​
Singapore is a global financial hub which is set to lead the gold market in the coming years as trade shifts eastwards to Asia. Furthermore Singapore is geographically close to 25% of the world's gold mining supply centres such as China, Australia and Indonesia. Hence Singapore was the ideal location to launch Asia Gold Conference. At the event, we welcomed sponsors and exhibitors with gold projects in New Zealand, Finland, Australia and Argentina. Institutional and retail Investors from Singapore and beyond were most eager to network and connect with these mining companies and learn about new investment opportunities in this booming precious metals space.

Critical Minerals Conference to debut in Tokyo, Japan in September 2024
​
We are proud to bring our Critical Minerals Conference Series to Japan for the first time in 2024 in partnership with our event partner International Security Industry Council of Japan (ISIC Japan) and our knowledge partner Greenwich House.
​
Critical Minerals are vital to Japan's economic security. Without access to these essential materials, Japan’s famous auto and electronics industries will become irrelevant. However, Japan’s strength in high-tech is offset by its lack of these critical resources, making it virtually dependent on imports. Consequently, the nation’s government, trading companies, mining companies, automobile companies, electronics firms, banks, investment funds, and others are all focused on securing new supplies of strategic minerals around the globe.
​
Critical Minerals Japan addresses new technologies, global alliances, end-user demand, national security issues, sustainability, and more, making this event one of the most important in the Indo-Pacific world today.
