The Critical Minerals North America Conference and Exhibition is Americas’ longest-running international platform for critical minerals, raw materials strategy, supply chain challenges, sourcing and processing, mining investment, new energy, and clean‑energy technologies — uniting the entire mineral resources value chain in New York City.

​

The United States critical minerals sector is undergoing a rapid, policy‑driven expansion to accelerate domestic processing, secure national‑defense supply chains, and cut strategic dependence on China. Surging demand from green energy, artificial intelligence (AI), high-tech and aerospace is powering sustained growth, with the U.S. critical minerals segment projected to surpass USD 12.9 billion by 2032, feeding into a global market expected to exceed USD 715 billion by 2035. Despite multibillion‑dollar federal investment, severe upstream deficits persist — driving a decisive shift toward advanced processing, downstream capacity, and national stockpiling.

 

At the same time, an assertive “America First” industrial strategy is reshaping the sector, pushing supply‑chain decoupling from China while confronting extraction shortfalls, operational bottlenecks, and entrenched import reliance. These pressures make this conference a pivotal forum for industry leaders, investors, and policymakers to navigate the next phase of North America’s critical minerals transformation.

​​

We expect 450+ senior‑level executives from 20+ countries, including governments, mining companies, investors, energy firms, technology providers, banks, industry associations and global stakeholders — all participating in two days of partnering, networking, business matching, and strategic dialogue.

 

Join us at Americas' most influential critical minerals platform, featuring a strategic agenda, international exhibition floor, and a 1‑2‑1 meeting programme designed to unlock new partnerships, investment opportunities and cross‑industry collaboration.
