Flotation '23: the biggest flotation conference ever

We are pleased to announce that the provisional programme for Flotation '23, which will be held in Cape Town in November, has now been published. With around 180 papers scheduled for presentation in oral and poster sessions this will be the biggest conference ever specialising in flotation, the minerals industry's most important unit operation, which continues to evolve and innovate to meet the challenges of ever decreasing ore grades and complexity, and to supply the critical minerals needed to feed the green revolution. This will be a welcome return to MEI's face-to-face flotation conferences since Flotation '19 in Cape Town.

Included in the 4-day programme will be four high-profile keynote speakers and, as with all MEI Conferences, plenty of time will be made available for networking, with sundowners in the beautiful Vineyard Hotel Gardens, an informal dinner at Cape Town's Gold Restaurant, and long coffee and lunch breaks in the exhibition and poster area. The Sunday afternoon Welcome Wine Reception will also be held in the exhibition area.

Exhibitors at previous MEI conferences have found the combined conference-exhibition has provided them with a more relaxed setting than the hurly-burly of a major trade show, and many have found the returns on the cost of their stand to be considerably higher. If you would like to exhibit, please contact us as soon as possible, as currently only three booths remain available.

Registration is now open, and we advise you to reserve your accommodation as early as you can. If you wish to stay at the Vineyard Hotel, a booking form can be found on the conference website.

We thank all our sponsors for their support, our latest being Ausmetec, an Australian owned company who developed, manufactures  and researches the unique ProFlote™ technology, a magnetic conditioning technology that selectively aggregates paramagnetic minerals.  Magnetic aggregation of minerals such as chalcopyrite has been shown to selectively increase flotation recoveries by > 1%, and this will be the subject of a paper at the conference.

We look forward to welcoming delegates from around the world to this major event.
