Built for Mining Project Leaders

Capital projects determine the future of mining operations — and the margin for error has never been smaller.

CPS 2026 brings together the leaders responsible for financing, planning, and delivering major mining projects in a market defined by volatility, stakeholder scrutiny, and capital discipline. This is where decision-makers align on what works, what doesn’t, and how to move projects forward with greater certainty.

Why Attend CPS 2026

Mining capital projects are being shaped by tighter capital discipline, market volatility, and growing pressure to deliver with greater certainty.
