Alongside lithium, critical minerals, energy storage and defense linked supply chains now form part of the same week in Las Vegas.
More than 1,250 senior leaders from over 40 countries attend, spanning miners, refiners, recyclers, OEMs, cell manufacturers, traders, governments and investors. For established lithium participants, the core audience remains firmly in place, with the added benefit of energy storage and infrastructure buyers now in the room, widening the opportunity to meet counterparties and progress commercial discussions.
