The World Mining Congress is a prominent event in the mining industry, bringing together leaders, professionals, and stakeholders from various sectors of mining to engage in discussions, share knowledge, and discover new technologies and practices. In 2026, Lima, Peru, will host the 27th iteration of this congress amid ongoing issues related to informal mining practices in the region. This situation adds a layer of urgency and importance to the event, as it presents a platform to address these challenges and seek collaborative solutions.

The upcoming Business Mission organized by UFI, the Global Association of the Exhibition Industry, marks a strategic initiative in response to the rising prominence of Latin America's exhibition market. This event is set to take place in Bogotá, the capital of Colombia, known for its vibrant culture and economic potential.
