A Leading Platform for Innovation in Mining and Metallurgical Processing

EVENT-AT-A-GLANCE

Call for Speakers Now Open

For nearly 30 years, ALTA has been a world-class mining and metallurgical processing conference annually held in Perth, Australia. In addition, this year ALTA will add a new U.S. meeting to its lineup, ALTA Americas. ALTA conferences are well-known for providing exceptional opportunities to share ideas and develop new connections. This year, ALTA Americas is co-located with the Advanced Automotive Battery Conference (AABC). The carefully crafted program themes running through the conferences reflect key current and developing technology trends in this crucial piece of the battery value chain. ALTA was established by metallurgical consultant Alan Taylor in 1985 to serve the worldwide mining, minerals and metallurgical industries. With more than 40+ years’ experience in the metallurgical, mineral, and chemical processing industries, Alan continues his involvement in the conferences as ALTA was acquired by Cambridge Innovation Institute and joined their Cambridge EnerTech division in 2024.

While most speakers will be invited, if you would like to be considered for a podium presentation, please submit a speaker proposal by May 23 for priority consideration.
