Cape Town is the place to be this year if you are a mineral processor. MEI's two smallest conferences, Physical Separation '26 and Mineral Processing Circuits '26, were held at Cape Town's beautiful Vineyard Hotel last month, and now there is a five month gap in which we look forward to three major conferences in South Africa's spring, the best time to be in Cape Town.
The XXXII International Mineral Processing Congress will be one of the most influential global gatherings in mineral processing, hopefully bringing together over 1000 professionals and academics from more than 50 countries, including leading universities, major mining companies, and global technology providers. Hosted at the Cape Town Convention Centre in the City Bowl, with its iconic view of Table Mountain, the congress creates a platform for knowledge exchange, collaboration, and the latest innovations shaping the future of the industry.
If you are a first-timer to South Africa, this IMPC video will show you what to expect from this wonderfully diverse country and particularly its jewel in the crown, Cape Town, and the South African section of the blog might whet your appetites for ideas for staying on after an event.
MEI is an IMPC media partner and we will be represented at the congress by Amanda, Will and me. Barbara and I, and Will and his girlfriend, have decided to remain after the IMPC finishes and base ourselves at Green Point, close to the Cape Town Waterfront. A wonderful place to spend some time, as there is so much to see and do in Cape Town, with its multitude of high quality restaurants, and Ubers are never more than a few minutes away to whisk you to the world's most beautiful wine estates, beaches and mountain hikes.
Just over 3 weeks after the end of the IMPC, as the early summer warms Cape Town, we move to the other side of the Mountain for MEI's Process Mineralogy '26 and Critical Minerals '26, with the full MEI team in attendance.

Process Mineralogy '26 is the 8th in this popular series and there is now a final call for abstracts. We invite you to submit your abstracts for review by the end of this month.
Critical Minerals '26, the 2nd in the series, immediately follows Process Mineralogy '26 and abstracts are invited by the end of the month.
A lot to look forward to in the Mother City later in the year!
