SAIMC International INSPIRE Conference 2026
March 2026
SAIMC
The SAIMC International INSPIRE Conference will be held in Johannesburg on 14 to 15 October 2026, combining the SAIMC, RobMech, and PRASA Conferences (pending IEEE approval).
The upcoming summit provides vendors in smart mining, manufacturing, and related industries an opportunity to showcase solutions and boost their profiles. It will focus on robotics and automation and feature sessions such as industry case studies, thought leadership, and peer-reviewed research, supporting advanced manufacturing efforts like RobMech and PRASA in South Africa.
Focused on knowledge sharing, the event aims to strengthen the country’s smart mining and manufacturing community. Industry and academic members will present research, case studies and success stories that inspire discussion, encourage questions, and promote collaboration across traditional operations, robotics, and intelligent systems.
Vendors can showcase their products and services while delivering insightful presentations. Sales pitches are not allowed, as all talks should contribute to advancing a cutting-edge smart mining, manufacturing, and robotics ecosystem in South Africa. This event presents valuable opportunities to forge business connections, network with leaders in manufacturing operations management, and interact with the wider robotics and automation community, including RobMech and PRASA members.
Multiple keystone packages are available at fixed, guaranteed rates for up to three years, ranging from Platinum to Ethereum tiers. Benefits increase with each tier, offering premium exhibition space, branding, digital and social media promotion, video features, speaking slots, delegate passes, and even optional naming rights for exclusive networking events.
