ALTA 2021
13-20 November, Perth and Online
ALTA 2021 is a world-class annual metallurgical conference, now in its 26th year, and a leading platform for innovation. ALTA conferences are well-known for providing exceptional opportunities for the industry to share ideas, innovations, technologies and projects, and develop new industry connections.
The emphasis of the carefully crafted program is practical rather than academic, and the themes running through the conference are the various aspects of technology and project development. We are pleased to partner with CSIRO Mineral Resources for the In-Situ Recovery Conference (ISR).
We are heading back to Perth
Following our virtual event in 2020, we are excited to return to a face-to-face gathering for ALTA 2021 to be held 13-20 November at the Pan Pacific Perth. We are designing a hybrid format with in-person attendance for Australians and online for internationals. If the Australian borders are open, online registrations may be converted to attend the physical event.
