For approved Fastmarkets Global Lithium, Battery & Critical Materials attendees. Add the strategic materials stream while keeping full access to your main event pass.
Why this matters now
Defense, aerospace, semiconductors and AI infrastructure all depend on a small group of materials where supply is concentrated, policy is shifting fast and visibility is limited.
01
Missiles, UAVs, radar, satellites and jet engines rely on rare earths, tungsten, titanium, gallium, germanium and superalloys.
02
Critical minerals are now part of national security strategy, industrial policy, funding decisions and allied supply chain planning.
03
Many strategic materials markets are small, opaque and concentrated, making price signals, availability and procurement risk harder to assess.
Who should attend
Strategic sourcing, supply chain risk, advanced materials and procurement leaders working across defense systems, aircraft, satellites, propulsion and electronics.
Teams exposed to gallium, germanium, indium, high purity silicon, copper and other materials used in chips, power electronics and high-performance computing.
Mining, refining, separation, magnet, alloy and specialty metals companies looking to understand buyer demand and supply chain requirements.
Market participants tracking price risk, stockpiling, offtake, funding, policy incentives and allied supply chain development.
Strategic materials attendees are part of the main event environment on June 23, giving them exposure to the lithium, battery raw materials, critical minerals, trading and investment community already in Las Vegas.
