The African Critical Minerals Summit (ACMS) is Africa’s premier annual platform dedicated to advancing dialogue, investment, and innovation around the continent’s vast critical mineral resources. Now in its 4th annual edition, ACMS brings together 800+ C-suite executives, investors, policymakers, mining engineers, ESG specialists, and government officials from across the SADC region and the broader African continent.
Taking place on 25–26 August 2026 at the Indaba Hotel, Fourways, Johannesburg, under the theme Mining Beyond Borders: Unlocking Continental Prosperity, ACMS is where Africa’s minerals story gets told on Africa’s terms, through high-impact keynotes, country spotlights, panel discussions, expos, live demonstrations, and purposeful networking that turns insight into action.
What sets ACMS apart is its commitment to inclusion across the value chain: bridging established mining houses, development financiers, and global technology partners with junior miners, emerging contractors, and SADC country investment delegations. Endorsed by the Department of Mineral Resources & Energy.
