2nd Annual

24 - 26 JUNE 2013

Thank you for your interest in the 2nd annual Africa Mining & Investment Conference (AMI) Sydney to be held over 24-26th June, 2013, in the heart of the Sydney financial district.

This premium level event is targeted at high level decision makers from all investors and mining companies that view Africa as an attractive destination to invest, explore and develop.

The event has been meticulously researched and heavily content led ensuring it attracts real decision makers from companies that are always on the lookout for solutions to their problems.

This provides you with the opportunity to promote your company’s capabilities and also showcase methods, technologies or equipment solutions to investors, analysts and mining companies that have captured or are looking to capture the huge growth potential of African mineral exploration and development projects.

Sponsorship packages can be tailored to suit your needs or you can opt for one of our “off the shelf” packages. Either way you can be sure of receiving exceptional value for money.

About the AMI Conference 2013

After hosting a successful inaugural event in 2012, investor relations specialist Canary Networks has collaborated with event partner Quest Events to significantly increase the depth of the AMI conference agenda, deliver more investors and create greater overall scale for AMI going forward. Quest Events is an expert event production firm that specialises in creating high-profile industry-lead forums for the resources and energy sectors.

This year AMI will deliver a new and improved, value packed conference agenda, a larger group of investors and more value overall for all participants. The event will feature an exhibition, investor insights, analysts’ outlooks, exposure to leading edge thinking on capital raising and doing business in Africa and of course mining company spotlights outlining exciting African mining investment opportunities. Furthermore, the event has been extended to three days to offer a practical and interactive workshop day, further attracting a broader base of stakeholders.

Taking place in the heart of the Sydney financial district, AMI 2013 will bring the African exploration and mining opportunity to the doorstep of the Australian investment community. Investors are interested in African mining and are looking keenly at numerous companies and projects.

If your business provides a specialised product or service that can contribute to the success of companies doing business in Africa, the AMI conference represents an exceptional opportunity for you to showcase your solutions, connect with potential clients and win business.
