Aspermont Launches Future of Mining Americas (FOMAmericas)

• Future of Mining event series to launch in Denver 29-30th October
• FOMAmericas will be bigger than the successful FOMSydney.
• Aspermont Events (100%) has delivered over $2m revenue in its first 6 months.

Aspermont Managing Director Alex Kent said:

"We launched our Future of Mining event series in Sydney earlier this year. It was the most successful launch commercially in our 20-year events history and the enthusiastic support from sponsors and positive audience feedback has incentivized us to prioritize an early launch in North America.

The exceptional interest from sponsors and mining companies for the North American launch confirms industry support for the quality of content and speakers that we are able to bring together as the dominant media services provider to the global mining industry.

The time to address the Future of Mining is now.

Our industry is demanding higher standards at mining conferences and we intend to deliver Future of Mining events on four continents over the next year. We have assembled a team at Aspermont Events able to harness our global distribution capability across the global resource sectors. We now also plan to launch a global Future of Agriculture series early next year. The success of our experienced Aspermont Events team testifies to the quality of personnel, systems and processes that we have in place.

The sale of our 60% stake in Mines and Money, in May last year, liberated us to commit the resources to assemble a highly experienced team at our own 100% owned Aspermont Events Division. We can now properly address the events sector in close harmony with our industry leading publications to raise the standards at mining events as demanded by our Sponsors. The emerging global success of our Future of Mining series suggests that this will be an exciting breakthrough year for our company."

Product Overview

Aspermont, the market leader in B2B media for the global resources sector, is pleased to announce the launch of the second product in its new global events series, The Future of Mining. The series launch in Sydney last May was highly successful and Aspermont Events will launch the Future of Mining Americas in Denver on the 29th-30th October.
