en.Wedoany.com Reported - The 2026 World Mining Congress (WMC 2026) is being held from June 24 to 26 in Lima, the capital of Peru, bringing together business leaders, government officials, researchers, and scholars from multiple countries to jointly discuss the future challenges and opportunities of the global mining industry.

This congress is organized by the Peruvian Institute of Mining Engineers (Instituto de Ingenieros de Minas del Perú, IIMP) and has been recognized as an activity of national interest by the Ministry of Energy and Mines (Ministerio de Energía y Minas, Minem) of Peru. The congress positions Peru as a discussion hub around core topics such as critical minerals, energy transition, technological innovation, artificial intelligence, and sustainability.

The three-day conference includes plenary sessions, technical sessions, networking events, and a commercial exhibition, with over 3,000 delegates from more than 50 countries expected to participate.

The congress will also impact Peru's economy and tourism, as the arrival of international delegations will boost industries such as hospitality, dining, transportation, and services. The organizing committee has arranged a post-congress technical visit to the Cerro Verde mine in Arequipa, with an itinerary that includes tours of tourist attractions in the Cusco and Arequipa regions.

The World Mining Congress coincides with Peru's Inti Raymi festival, an ancient celebration that attracts numerous domestic and international tourists to the city of Cusco every June 24. This coincidence allows international visitors to gain experiences related to Peru's historical heritage and traditions while participating in the congress.
