The theme of this years’ event is:
The Importance of Building New Rare Earth Sustainable Supply Chains
These are challenging times in the critical materials sector and rare earths are no exception. We will examine the challenges facing the industry and discuss what action needs to be taken to guarantee REE supply chains over the next decade or so. What are governments doing to support the critical materials space; is there enough investment; what are the long-term objectives to ensure constant supply.
This conference is attended by every company involved in the REE sector with representatives from the entire supply chain.
The event in Washington last October was a sell-out and received excellent feedback. Metal Events are looking forward to another sell-out event this year in KL!

Fastmarkets Global Lithium, Battery & Critical Materials
2026-06-22 - 2026-06-25 | Las Vegas, NV, United States
MMTA member discount
Members of the Minor Metals Trade Association are eligible for a special 15% registration discount.
Please log into your Member Benefits page for the discount code and use it when registering HERE
Why this event matters:
Minor metals markets are being pulled directly into battery, energy storage and critical minerals procurement cycles, with pricing, availability and trade flows increasingly shaped by policy, localisation requirements and downstream contracts rather than spot fundamentals alone.
Fastmarkets Global Lithium, Battery & Critical Materials is one of the few global events where pricing, trade and procurement discussions happen in the same room as producers, traders, OEM buyers, energy storage developers and policymakers.
The value lies in understanding:

Where real demand is forming for manganese and other minor metals across batteries, energy storage and industrial applications
How U.S. and allied-country policy is influencing trade routes, sourcing decisions and supplier selection
What buyers are locking in contractually ahead of the next procurement and pricing cycles
How volatility, localisation and supply security are feeding into pricing mechanisms and negotiations

With over 1,000 senior participants from more than 40 countries, the event provides direct exposure to the commercial drivers behind price formation and long-term offtake, not just technical or academic discussion.
Event overview
A flagship Fastmarkets event bringing together senior decision-makers across mining, processing, trading, battery materials, energy storage, government and finance, with a strong emphasis on market outlooks, pricing dynamics and commercial decision-making.
