World Copper Conference returns to a live in-person event for 2022

The World Copper Conference 2022 will be held as a live in-person event in Chile on the 29th and 30th of March and will reinforce its position as the premier copper event in Latin America.

The conference which happens during CESCO week, offers the most important business and networking opportunities in the mining industry. Normally, circa 500 senior executives, including the most influential copper market executives meet face to face at this crucial copper industry conference, representing the complete copper value chain from miners, to smelters, traders and end-users.

The conference will convene one of the most impressive groups of industry leaders of any event in the mining industry. As well as a keynote address from the Ministry of Mines, Chile, it will also feature CEOs speaking from BHP, Codelco, Collahuasi and many more. 

The conference will also be accessible online. It will be simultaneously held in-person and virtually. This hybrid approach enhances the value of the event by providing in-person attendees on-demand access to presentations and networking, whilst making the event accessible to those unable to travel to Santiago. If you are planning to travel to Santiago, please read the information for travellers.

Running alongside the conference is an exhibition showcasing the latest technologies, products and solutions. For exhibition enquiries, please contact Paul Terry at paul.terry@crugroup.com or +44 (0)20 7903 2131.


We are delighted to have Bechtel, FLSmidth, Collahuasi and the International Copper Association, as key sponsors; as well as industry support from CESCO.
