IMDEX Presents: Xploration Tech Symposium | Perth 2026

Discover the future of mining tech at the Xploration Tech Symposium - innovation, insights & industry leaders all in one place. Xploration Tech Symposium (XTS) Perth is a new regional extension of IMDEX’s flagship Xploration Tech Symposium - a highly regarded thought leadership event that has brought together leaders across geoscience, mining, technology, and innovation for more than a decade in Vancouver. Hosted by IMDEX, XTS provides a neutral platform for industry leaders, researchers and innovators to discuss the future of geoscience and mining. The focus is on ideas, collaboration and open technical dialogue rather than product promotion. We're exicited to bring this forum to Perth. See you there! The theme: Da Vinci to Amazon: From Creativity to Scale in Geoscience At its core, this year's theme explores one of the mining industry's most persistent challenges: translating geoscience data into actionable, scalable decisions. Across the mining value chain, geoscience operates in fundamentally different modes - from creative discovery, to structured interpretation, to repeatable execution. Yet these stages are often disconnected, leading to lost value, misalignment and missed opportunities. XTS 2027 explores how we better connect these different "personalities" of geoscience to unlock more value from the subsurface. What to Expect • Technical presentations from industry and research leaders • Interactive panel discussion • Thought-provoking conversations on the future of geoscience • A highly engaged audience of geologists and geoscientists Speaker Announcements Refer to the IMDEX website for details on the speakers and programme.
