Included with your ticket

A co-located energy storage summit

A dedicated Energy Storage Summit now runs alongside the main conference and is included in your delegate pass. This summit typically retails at $2,999, giving attendees access to an additional programme and audience at no extra cost.

The summit brings utilities, developers, EPCs and grid-scale buyers into the same week as lithium and battery materials producers, processors and investors. As energy storage scales rapidly, these players are becoming central to procurement decisions, long-term contracts and demand forecasting. Their presence materially changes who is in the room and the types of commercial conversations taking place.

More details on the full programme will be released soon.

Expanding the scope of discussion

A broader critical minerals conversation

The event now looks beyond lithium alone. Nickel, graphite, rare earths and magnet materials feature more prominently across the programme, reflecting how supply chains are evaluated in practice rather than commodity by commodity.

This broader focus supports more cross-material discussions across mining, processing, recycling, OEM procurement and investment. It also mirrors how companies are making decisions today, where batteries, energy storage, policy and security considerations intersect.

New buyer groups entering the room

Defence & aerospace supply chains

Defence and aerospace supply chains now feature as a focused stream within the event. These sectors introduce a distinct buyer profile, shaped by long-term procurement cycles, policy-backed funding and strategic supply requirements.

For attendees, this opens access to demand that is less cyclical than traditional EV markets and increasingly influential in critical materials, magnets and advanced battery technologies. It also brings new context to discussions around localisation, supply security and long-term investment.

Designed around how business gets done

More time and space for meetings

Networking remains as important as the agenda. The structure of the week continues to prioritise face-to-face conversations through longer breaks, shared spaces, bookable meeting areas and co-located content.

With more companies attending from more markets, the expanded format makes it easier to progress discussions in one place, without adding additional travel or events to the calendar.

In development for 2026

Additional experiences around the event

We’re working on ways to make the week in Las Vegas even more valuable outside the formal agenda. This includes ideas around off-site activity, informal networking moments and experiences designed to bring people together beyond the conference floor.

These elements are intended to support relationship-building and follow-on conversations that happen around the event, not distract from it.

Further details will be shared as plans are confirmed.
