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

6th to 8th May 2025

Event Details

Conference

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.

Exhibition

Offering several sponsorship and exhibition opportunities, 2025North West MPX exhibitors have access to a select number of exhibition booths and spaces to showcase their business capabilities indoors. 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.

Welcome Reception

Open to sponsors, exhibitors and registered forum delegates, the professionally styled and catered Mount Isa City Council Welcome Reception will be held cocktail style within the foyer providing an informal opportunity for exhibitors to network and connect with delegates and sponsors.

Naming rights to the Welcome Reception are a key benefit of the Gold Sponsorship opportunity which has been secured by the Mount Isa City Council. Tickets to the Welcome Reception are included in all sponsorship levels and delegate registrations, with a limited number of guest tickets available for sale.

Networking Drinks

Spend some casual time networking with delegates and sponsors at the Networking Drinks on Wednesday evening. Professionally styled and catered, this afternoon is a relaxed opportunity to learn more about the products and services offered by the Silver Sponsor.

Open to sponsors, exhibitors and registered forum delegates, the afternoon will offer the chance to build on new relationships, or to make new ones.

Naming rights to the Networking Drinks are a key benefit of the Silver Sponsorship package. Tickets to the afternoon are included in all sponsorship levels and delegate registrations, with a limited number of guest tickets available for sale.

The Mount Isa Civic Centre

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.
