The Future Minerals Forum will take place at the King Abdulaziz International Conference Centre in Riyadh from January 13–15, 2026. The world's premier forum for influencing mining's future.

The Future Minerals Forum (FMF) offers a comprehensive three-day agenda for its fifth year of global engagement that aims to link nations with industry, thought leadership with business, and policy with practice. Under the theme: “Delivering the Minerals for Creating a New Era of Global Development,” an exclusive, by-invitation-only Ministerial Roundtable will set the tone by bridging public sector strategies with private sector priorities across the global mineral ecosystem. The roundtable will focus on leadership, action, and the introduction of new voices. Besides, attendees will hear from ministers, legislators, and businesspeople over the course of three days, from January 13 to 15, 2026. Day 1, January 13, will highlight ministerial vision and strategy alignment while concentrating on top-level government engagement. Moreover, on Days 2 and 3, January 14 and 15, there will be extensive programming that spans the mining value chain and includes networking, open discussion, and information sharing. Starting on January 14, a few theatres and special content sessions will operate concurrently with the International Exhibition and National Country Showcases. This program facilitates significant collaborations between governments, investors, and industry by bridging academic discourse with business aspirations. The Future Minerals Forum (FMF) is a government-led mineral platform that has established itself as the premier gathering of industry executives, experts, governments, universities, and stakeholders dedicated to promoting mineral resilience and responsible supply. There is nowhere else where CEOs, investors, industry pioneers, governments, and global influencers come together to decide how minerals will develop in the future. It is a movement, a cause that brings nations together to secure the minerals required for sustained global growth, rather than merely an event. Read more: International Translation Forum, 2025
