Register now for a once-in-a-decade event in Phoenix; Extraction 2025 in November

Did you attend Extraction 2018 in Canada? If you did, the second installment of this conference series is being held later this year, and you should register. If you did not attend, now is the time to get registered and find out what you missed. Extraction 2025 will be held Nov. 16-20, 2025 at the Sheraton Grand at Wild Horse Pass in Phoenix, AZ. Extraction 2025 is a joint effort between SME, the Minerals, Metals & Materials Society (TMS) and the Metallurgy and Materials Society (MetSoc) of the Canadian Institute of Mining, Metallurgy, and Petroleum (CIM), with SME serving as the overall conference chair organization. The conference is being chaired by Kimberly Mills with support from co-chairs Nathan Stubina of MetSoc and Christina Meskers of TMS. The previous meeting, Extraction 2018, which was also the first Extraction meeting, was held jointly by these three societies seven years ago in Ottawa and was a huge success with more than 90 percent of respondents indicating interest in attending a future event. What’s special about this installment of Extraction is that the event will feature Copper 2025, Nickel-Cobalt 2025 as well as Cross Cutting Symposia to bring both groups together to share ideas and collaborate. All three societies are members of the International Organizing Committee for the Copper Conference Series and felt that including Copper in Extraction could bring these communities together. The International Copper Conference was started in 1987 as a collaboration between Instituto de Ingenieros de Minas de Chile (IIMCh) and MetSoc. The event is typically held every four years and has always been held as a standalone or headlining event at a society annual meeting. Over the years this conference series alone has brought together members of IIMCh, MetSoc, TMS, SME, the GDMB Society of Metallurgists and Miners from Germany, the Mining and Materials Processing Institute of Japan (MMIJ), the South African Institute of Mining and Metallurgy (SAIMM), and the Nonferrous Metals Society of China (NFSOC). Being a part of Extraction allows for even broader sharing of ideas and expansion of networks. This conference has not been held in the United States since 1999 in Phoenix, AZ. The International Symposium on Nickel and Cobalt (Ni-Co) is traditionally held by TMS every four years. The last installment of Ni-Co was held in conjunction with the TMS 2021 Virtual Annual Meeting and Exhibition, so this is the first in-person meeting since the COVID-19 pandemic and it has been eight years since the last in-person meeting. All of the organizers are excited about the opportunities for cross-commodity collaboration and learning. This event will have a more diverse group of delegates in attendance than many events we typically host, to support finding unique solutions for a more sustainable future. We feel there is truly something for everyone. We are also excited to offer eight short courses prior to the conference, and Freeport-McMoRan Miami will be providing a tour the Friday after the conference concludes. This is a once-in-a-decade meeting event. We look forward to seeing you in November. To register, go to https://www.extractionmeeting.org/Extraction2025/Extraction2025/default.aspx
