The Society for Mining, Metallurgy & Exploration (SME) wrapped up a highly successful MINEXCHANGE 2023 SME Annual Conference & Expo in Denver, CO on Wednesday, March 1 with its annual awards dinner. Marc LeVier assumed the role of SME President for 2023 at the conclusion of the ceremony and will enter a year full of promise and opportunity for the mining and metallurgical processing industries.
Through the four-day conference more than 6,400 attendees took part in more than 110 technical sessions that included about 600 presentations. They visited a vibrant exhibit hall with 553 companies exhibiting in 803 booths. A return from the COVID-19 pandemic as well as high demand for the products the mining industry produces created an energetic conference.
