Networking
They happen in Las Vegas.
On the show floor. At the bar. Over breakfast.
From bookable meeting tables to evening events and industry awards, the schedule creates multiple touchpoints for connecting with the people you came to see.
Exhibition show floor
The commercial engine of the week. Miners next to refiners, investors next to developers, OEM procurement teams in the same room as junior project companies. Coffee breaks and lunches are built into the schedule to keep footfall high. This is where feedstock conversations start and where offtake discussions get serious.
Bookable meeting tables
Pre-schedule 30-minute, one-to-one meetings via our event platform before you arrive in Las Vegas. Whether you are a developer looking to get in front of capital, a trader benchmarking supply options or an OEM working your procurement pipeline, you control who you sit down with and when.
Opening & closing parties
Four dedicated drinks receptions across the week give you repeated opportunities to meet the same people in different settings. The CEO you missed in a session, the trader you need to reconnect with, the investor who was on stage that morning. The agenda gives you the context. The receptions give you the access.
VOLTAS Awards
Recognising genuine leadership across lithium, batteries and energy storage. From project milestones to commercial breakthroughs. This year the VOLTAS Awards are free for all delegates. The room will contain the most senior figures in the global supply chain in one setting, post-agenda, with time to talk.
Pool party reception
Mid-week. Las Vegas. Away from the sessions. Some of the most candid market conversations of the year happen here, because people are relaxed, guards are down and the agenda has done its job. Price outlooks, project updates and partnership conversations that wouldn't start in a panel room often do here.
Executive & ESS breakfast clubs
Closed-door, invitation-only sessions that bring the most senior names in the room together before the day's agenda kicks in. The Executive Breakfast Club on June 24 and the ESS Breakfast Club on June 25 are where the real strategic conversations happen covering capital allocation, market positioning, project risk and what the next 12 months actually look like for this industry. Before 9am.
State and country roundtables
Closed-door sessions limited to 15 to 20 participants, built around the regions and projects that matter most right now. The Smackover in Arkansas. Thacker Pass in Nevada. The brine projects in Argentina. Hard rock development in Canada. What's actually moving on permitting, what capital is circling and what the realistic timelines look like with the people directly involved.
Morning wellness sessions
The Lithium 5k Run Club on June 23 and Sunrise Yoga on June 22 are small, informal and genuinely one of the best ways to get in front of people you'd otherwise only see on a panel. No titles, no agendas, no slides. Just people who care about the same market, before the week begins.
Get involved
Sponsor moments across the week
Many of the networking activities across the event are supported by sponsors, giving companies the chance to be part of the conversations that happen outside the session rooms.
This years 17th Fastmarkets conference was the
best yet. The quality of the attendees was exceptional. It was a
rare opportunity to engage in meaningful conversations with true decision-makers shaping the future of the lithium supply chain.
