A decade of showcasing Zambia’s mining and energy sectors
ZIMEC has been Zambia’s leading mining and energy event for 10 years. It is the longest-running government-supported mining and energy conference in the country. It is supported at the highest levels of the national government which ensures key decision-makers attendance. In 2021, the event will take place from 26 – 27 May 2021 and will feature keynote presentations from the Minister of Mines and Mineral Development, the Minister of Energy & the President of Chamber of Mines, Zambia. The conference will showcase eight sessions covering: fiscal policies, finance, infrastructure, corporate social responsibility, diversification of mineral resources, sustainable development, environmental considerations, infrastructure, supply chains and technological innovations.
ZIMEC 2021 will be going virtual this year for the safety & security of our participants. You will still be able to interact with the major mining & energy players from both public & private sectors in Zambia & East Africa from the comfort of your home or office. Our interactive application will allow exhibitors to participate and market their services and delegates will be able to network to make new business contacts. We hope to back live with an exciting move of the event from Lusaka to Kitwe in May 2022.

MINING REPORT
WEST AFRICAN INFRASTRUCTURE
Being one of the leading event organisers in the African extractive industries by bringing all industry stakeholders together through common themes, we have built knowledge and intelligence over the years in the mining sector. We have used our expertise to create a report detailing exclusive mining infrastructure projects in West Africa, allowing you to find out how to tender for projects, what opportunities are available, and the effect that COVID-19 has had on the projects and commodity prices.
ZIMEC is providing the government with a platform to showcase its plans for promoting the mining and energy sectors especially in the aftermath of the Covid-19 pandemic. It also gives the government an opportunity to hear from a diverse range of stakeholders and possibly use that input in its policies going forward.
ZIMEC allows a unique set of stakeholders to engage directly and in real-time providing insights, answers and indicators crucial in building rapport and confidence going forward in the mining and energy sectors.
ZIMEC gives the private sector a platform to voice its views to the government. The conference also promotes partnerships and collaborations among private sector players while sharing solutions and opportunities in the mining and energy sectors.
For the past 9 years, AME Trade, the Zambian Government and the Chamber of Mines, have strived to enhance the mining and energy industries, by bringing all stakeholders together at the Zambia International Mining and Energy Conference and Exhibition, ZIMEC. Its successful and expert speakers always provide the latest industry updates and discuss current Mining & Energy challenges and opportunities with regards to Zambia and surrounding countries, especially during the Covid 19 pandemic.
