Our read for suppliers
IMARC is the biggest dated event in this guide by the organiser's own numbers. For a supplier the cheapest way in is the $30 Expo Visitor Pass to walk the floor. The free Mining Guest Pass is aimed at mining company buyers, so a supplier would not normally qualify. Stand costs are not published, so ask the organiser before you budget.
