The SAIMM is proud to announce its upcoming 2026 conference on Tailings. Since the inaugural event, which raised the profile of tailings management and fostered collaboration among industry stakeholders, and the subsequent conference that focused on embracing the Global Industry Standard on Tailings Management (GISTM), the field has seen significant progress. We've deepened our understanding of GISTM requirements, advanced geotechnical knowledge of tailings dams, engaged more stakeholders, and made strides toward improved safety through GISTM compliance.
However, despite these achievements, tailings dam failures persist, signalling that there is still much work to be done and lessons to learn. As we look to the future, the 2026 conference will ask: Where to now? In a world of new standards, evolving expectations, and emerging possibilities, what opportunities lie ahead? What residual risks need addressing? How can we further reduce, reclaim, or reuse tailings? How can we accelerate the adoption of new technologies and set a new benchmark for the industry? What impacts, once considered acceptable, are no longer tolerable, and how can we best manage them?
Join us in 2026 to explore these critical questions and engage in meaningful discussions with key role players in the tailings industry.
